Lyrics

Empty Nest 5

I wake up on the floor
My neck is all wacked out
Two kids are in my place

The boy begins to wail
He hasn't yet been fed
The girl is running late

It's easy to take this moment for granted
Feel irritated and disenchanted
Let's take a second for sober reflection
One of these days this is all gonna have to end

We'll have an empty nest
Our kids will be gone
Then we'll have all of the time to rest
And miss what is gone

Sitting in the room in the evening
Talk about the past that one has
Cherish every day we have
(And we'll have an empty nest) We'll have an empty nest

There are joyful moments too
Holidays with the folks
And hunting Easter eggs

The simple Sunday mornings
When we all just lie in bed
And read Calvin and Hobbes

It's easy to take our happiness for granted
Sometimes it seems that we always will have it
Let's take a second for sober reflection
One of these days this is all gonna have to end

We'll have an empty nest
Our kids will be gone
Then we'll have all of the time to rest
And miss what is gone

Sitting in the room in the evening
Talk about the past that one has
Cherish every day we have
And we'll have an empty nest

Sometimes it's hard to know what to do
We want to do what is best for them
But even if we do everything right
No especially if we do everything right
It's gonna have to end

We'll have an empty nest
Our kids will be gone
Then we'll have all of the time to rest
And miss what is gone

Sitting in the room in the evening
Talk about the past that one has
Cherish every day that we have
We'll have an empty nest

We'll have an empty nest
Our kids will be gone
Then we'll have all of the time to rest
And miss what is gone

Sitting in the room in the evening
Talk about the past, it won't last
Cherish every day that we have
We'll have an empty nest

Empty Nest 6


(...)
Then we'll have nothing but time to rest
(...)

Especially if we do everything right
One of these days
(...)

Empty Nest 8

(...)
Our goods will have gone
(...)

Then we'll have all of the time to rest
And miss what is gone
(...)
