lyrics

EMPTY AND STILL (Prince/Jones)

The little white chapel stood vacant
The stained glass busted out of the frame
No congregation sang ‘bout tribulation
Nobody prayed in Jesus's name

The church stood empty and still
Shining up on that little green hill
They'll be no gatherings anymore
‘Cept for those on a distant shore

The last one buried in the cemetery
Was Preacher Wilson back in '81
The graves were bare, no flowers there
For families long gone

The church stood empty and still
Shining up on that little green hill
They'll be no gatherings anymore
‘Cept for those on a distant shore

The afternoon shadows stretch out long
Things change like shifting sand
It seems so wrong that there's no more song
They've all gone to the promised land

The church stood empty and still
Shining up on that little green hill
They'll be no gatherings anymore
‘Cept for those on a distant shore

The church stood empty and still
Shining up on that little green hill
They'll be no gatherings anymore
‘Cept for those on a distant shore
