Lyrics[]
I am wearing a white long-sleeved button-down The pink colors behind the clouds tonight Mirror the softer shades of your nightgown As the neuro-transmitters go crazy inside of me You swear you're leaving town Empty promises, empty promises I am watching the way the wind seems to pass straight through your body When you run your fingernail along my neck, and you spill some water on me You say you're as good as gone Well, don't look now but here comes the dawn Empty promises, empty promises Empty promises, empty promises

- "I have no idea, I think the Kima was in an open tuning for that song, the only time it's ever been played was when I recorded it." -- Reddit AmA (2011)
