Empty Places - Genesse Gentry

I drove the old way yesterday.
It'd been a while, you see.
And there, without a warning, the pain washed over me.

I drove the old way yesterday and sadness came on strong,
taken back by so much feeling, since you've been gone so long.
Places seem to lie in wait to summon up the tears, to say remember
yesterday those days when you were here.
Places where you laughed and played are places where I cry.
These places hold the memories that will live as long as I.
