The Hollow Man

He worked in the coal mine day after day
And every night drank his sorrow away
Down in the bottle he kept his eyes
Down in the bottle where emptiness lies

He stayed quiet
But rumors ran
People still call him
The hollow man

The girl in the red dress was once his love
She married another and broke his heart
Down in the valley he lived alone
But he never found what other call a home

He stayed quiet
But rumors ran
People still call him
The hollow man

He keeps for himself
Lonesome and gray
Down in the bottle
That's what they say

He stayed quiet
But rumors ran
People still call him
The hollow man
