Empty World (feat. Michael McDonald)

A true soul sister, New Orleans mister
It was a bright and shiny day
Took the last train to catch your song
I’ll get there anyhow, anyway
The brightest star on a hot southern night
So much love, so much love

People worldwide have you in mind
They say you’re thoughtful and you’re kind
(He’s got the sweetness and kindness)
Never thought we’d lose you, the whisper king
(Can’t you stick around, stick around forever)
(Won’t you stay around, don’t you leave us never)
And all the happiness that you bring
(Sweetness and kindness)
Rejuvenation with imagination
So much love, so much love

Take me down (won’t you take me)
Take me down (won’t you take me)
To the river running wild in your name

Take me down (won’t you take me)
Lay me down (won’t you take me)
To the river running wild, as the sun sets on your song
(Stick around forever)
Now you’re gone, it’s an empty, empty world

(Stick around forever)
(Don’t you leave us never)
(Can’t you stick around, stick around forever)
(Won’t you stay around, don’t you leave us never)

The King of Earl, the king of the world
So much love, so much love

Take me down (won’t you take me)
Take me down (won’t you take me)
To the river running wild in your name

Take me down (won’t you take me)
Lay me down (won’t you take me)
To the river running wild, as the sun sets on your song
(Stick around forever)
Now you’re gone, it’s an empty, empty world

It’s an empty, empty world
