Empty Greetings Empty Replies
written & performed by Hook
I don't know my neighbors
And each one of them
has a story that I don't know
and each one of them
have beliefs that are strong
And each one of them
have led down paths that are wrong
And each one of them

Brings pain
Dull remorse
Empty greetings
empty replies of course
Bitter shame
Cruel divorce
empty greetings
empty replies of course

I don't know my family
and each one of them
Has families of Their Own
And each one of them
Would be surprised if they knew
Each one of them
Wonder if ill see
Each one of them

Smiles
Shallow laughter
Empty greetings
empty replies of course
Silence
Uncomfortable moments
Empty greetings
empty replies of course

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Lovely song brother. The lyrics are pensive and a sad commentary on our society.

A fine song Hook! I like that pedal steel....it adds to the loneliness of the song.
