Topic: Song called Empty Page

Seems the thread about writer's block got in my head and  I figured that maybe in some cases, this might be the reason.



Empty Page By Jim Kenyon


(Verse 1 )


.


[G]Staring at this empty page, can’t seem to make a rhyme


[C]Every line I try to write, raises [G]memories lost in time.


[C] thoughts are like shadows, oh,they [G]dim and try to hide


[D]Wish I could write something, but [C] nothing comes to [G] mind


.


(Verse 2 )


.


[G]I want to write about how she could always make me smile


[C]how her green eyes would sparkle, tho, [G]I ain’t seen’em in a while.


[C]tonight the ink won’t flow, like my [G]heart, bleeding through


[D]‘Cause every word I write just, [C]leads me back to thoughts of [G]you.


.


(Chorus)


.




this [C] notepad, it tortures me, with [G]memories from the past


Its [C]silence is deafening, with [G]lines of love that didn’t last


Every [C]line I write, somehow gets me [G]feeling kind of strange


‘cause [D]tonight it’s me thinking of you, as I [C]write this empty [G] page


.





(Verse 3 )


.




[G]My pen has authored many songs, but tonight it is no friend


[C]Won’t let me write I Love you, because it [G]says it makes no sense


[C]I thought I had a verse to write but [G]couldn’t find the right key


[D]To unlock my heart, and this song, that you left in[G] me


.




(Chorus)


.


this [C] notepad, it tortures me, with [G]memories from the past


Its [C]silence is deafening, with [G]lines of love that didn’t last


Every [C]line I write, somehow gets me [G]feeling kind of strange


‘cause [D]tonight it’s me thinking of you, as I [C]write this empty [G]page




Outgo




.


One [C]day the words might finally fall, [G]I’ll write of love’s quiet rage.


But [D]tonight it’s me thinking of you, as I [C]write this empty [G]page

Re: Song called Empty Page

Good lyrics in there Jim you have a great way of expressing many a writer's frustration at getting words onto paper.

EB,
Have at at it - you can have it.
That was a non-definitive verse - just setting up the reason.  I'm sure there are  dozens of reasons in many minds that could fill  the rest of the song.
Thank you Brian and Peatle
