The water has been turned off at the mains
I do the laundry when it rains
Out in the woods where I know that I can't be seen
I will wait for a chance to restart
I got an empty purse and a broken heart
I just can't recall the bygone times
Those expectations that were mine
I see the streets of my youth and I see the place
Where I was all set for a good start
I got an empty purse and a broken heart
I could brush off the dirt or I could leave it there
And just wait for the rain to do it's part
I got an empty purse and a broken heart
I keep on lingering over dreams
Help, will I last or so it seems
Still hear the words that you said to me yesteryear
But now I'm back in the woods with a thought
I've got an empty purse and a broken heart
Still I'm haunted by unpleasant memories
While the cherished are falling apart
I got an empty purse and a broken heart
Out in the woods where I know that I can't be seen
We had adhered to what's the land of the lost
I'll be rebuild to the man that I've never been
I will brush off the dirt and the dust
And when I'm back where I turned off years ago
I'll evade my condition to a nod
With still an empty purse and a poor man's broken heart
