Empty Cans

[Verse] Shelves are barren dust in the air Once was warmth now nothin' there Red and white labels cracked and torn Cold nights no more comfort born [Verse 2] Scavengin' for memories gone stale Dreams in a can now ghosts in the mail Steam from a pot ain't risin' no more Who to save when giants fall [Chorus] Empty cans rustin' away Taste of solace now turned to clay Echoes lost in yesterday Campbell's dreams slip fade away [Verse 3] Whispers in the wind that used to be Hearty flavors now just a memory Spoonfuls of love lost to time's decay Where do we go when the soup ends this way [Bridge] Tears pour down like old tomato broth Mourning sounds of home's tender loss Sheltered hearts grown cold and old Campbell's cans forever sold [Verse 4] Cracklin' fire try to melt the pain Broth ain't comin' back again Lonely stores in the twilight zone Wonderin' why we're left alone
