Nothing in the fridge
or in the cupboards
Just a few out-of-date
things
(Chorus)
She’s running
on empty
Ain’t it always
the way
That’s life and
the same it’ll stay
Her stomach rumbles
as she counts her change
Her bottle full of
coppers, not much more
(Chorus)
She’s running
on empty
Ain’t it always
the way
That’s life and
the same it’ll stay
He bank empty
wages all gone
Bills paid
but still behind
(Chorus)
She’s running
on empty
Ain’t it always
the way
That’s life and
the same it’ll stay
She lives in
hope though
For hope is
all she has that’s full

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
