Story behind the song

During a troubled period for me in the late 70's, a young female friend asked me if I would store her full size piano in my little one room ground floor apartment, while she was living at no fixed address for a couple of months. It took up a lot of room but at least I wrote this song on it.

Lyrics

Life's empty, so empty, when your woman's not beside you
And you've got so much love inside you
Life's empty, so empty, when you want so much to cherish
But you're afraid that love might perish
No, I don't expect people of this world to really understand
How I'm driven inside down down a torturous road
To a dark and distant land
But the words I've bled for the people I've met
Some day must have their worth
My faith will never leave me though I'm nothing to this world
Life's empty, so empty, when the world's just passing by your door
But you're too afraid to get hurt once more
Life's empty, so empty, when the radio plays songs from the past
But your prime of life's speeding by so fast
No, I don't expect people of this world to really understand
How I'm driven inside down a torturous road
To a dark and distant land
But the words I've bled for the people I've met
Some day must have their worth
My faith will never leave me though I'm nothing to this earth...
