Empty Pages - Pig Pen original

Empty pages, written by Pig Pen, was only played twice.  Back to back, and the 2nd time was the only show ever in the Bronx.  Pig's health was going downhill, it was the last show before Keith Joined. Quite the haunting tune (thanks Aces back to back on FB for the story)

Empty Pages (Live at Auditorium Theater, Chicago, IL, August 24, 1971)

EMPTY PAGES

Lyrics By: Ron "Pigpen" McKernan

Music By: Ron "Pigpen" McKernan

Empty pages before my eyes
Do not deny or criticize
Empty bedrooms where I've paid my dues
Watching the ceiling instead of you
Can you tell me where you've gone?
Ain't no one around to hear my songs

I've got some songs that I'd like to sing
Always brings down some other thing
Where can I go, my paths are broken?
It seems like your love is just a token
So won't you stay with me?
Oh, stay with me

Up in the morning, out the door
Doing some business that I never know
Come back in the evening with your [mouth all forgot]  
You know I got a mind to put you out
