Empty Hearts

So save all of your light
 For those who can't sleep at night
 And who can't even sing to their shadows
 Oh they ride into town
 And they throw the shots down
 And they save the last round for the windows
 Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart
 With an empty heart
 Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
 I'm inside with my friends
 We build fires and pretend
 That the night could just bend on forever
 While outside in the frost
 Are the wolves and the lost
 And we sing to the dogs or whoever
 Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart
 With an empty heart
 Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
 There's a friend that I have
 And for her I'll go back
 You see all of these empties that I'm holding
 They're too much for a man
 Empty arms, empty hands
 And she'll know me by the sound of my hoping
 Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart
 With an empty heart
 Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
