Jim Morris Empty Pages lyrics

An ocean of blue green water
As far as the eye can see
Boats outside my window
Going nowhere just like me

I came here for inspiration
In this funky little island town
But everything's a big distraction
It really starts to slow me down
I might be wrong but my hit song
Sounds nothing like it did last night
Maybe my ink is broken
I've got some paper but my pen won't write

And I'm starring at empty pages
Starring at empty pages
Starring at empty pages
My mind is in a bar downtown

A rooster woke me up at sunrise
Oh no another sunny day
Palm trees waving out my window
Yelling come outside and play

I really need to write that chorus
But I think I'll take a walk downtown
Some lady her 4-wheel phone booth
Is just about to run me down

I wish I knew the answer
I wish I could find the rhyme

I wish had a little more music
I wish I had a lot more time

Cause I'm starring at empty pages
Starring at empty pages
Starring at empty pages
My mind is in a bar downtown

My label is getting nervous
They wonder if I even try
They wonder if I'll meet my deadline
They wonder if the well's gone dry

They wonder if I'm really focused
They wonder what takes so long
Why does it take so many days
Just to write a 3-minute song

My friends say wait a minute
You've done pretty well so far
You wanted in the music business
Well guess what, you are
But I'm starring at empty pages
Starring at empty pages
Starring at empty pages
My mind is in a bar downtown
I'm starring at empty pages
I think I'll find a bar downtown
