This is one of the songs of the great album called "The Rising" by Bruce Springsteen. Even though the man is hugely rich he still can reach deep inside the soul.
Empty Sky
I woke up this morning
I could barely breathe
Just an empty impression
In the bed there you used to be
I want a kiss from your lips
I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Blood on the streets
Blood flowin' down
I hear the blood of my blood
Cryin' from the ground
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
On the plains of Jordan
I cut my bow from the wood
Of this tree of evil
Of this tree of good
I want a kiss from your lips
I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to the empty sky
In memory of the victims of 9/11.
How did this album not win the Grammy?
Every time I hear this song, or even think of it, tears come to my eyes. It is truly Bruce's best and deepest moment ever.
Why no grammy?
