The Empty Chair

Intro: verse 1 If I should close my eyes, that my soul can see, And there's a place at the table that you saved for me. So many thousand miles over land and sea, I hope to dare, that you hear my prayer, And somehow I'll be there. verse 2 It's but a concrete floor where my head will lay, And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay. But there's a shaft of light where I count my days, So don't despair of the empty chair, And somehow I'll be there. Bridge Some days I'm strong, some days I'm weak, And days I'm so broken I can barely speak, There’s a place in my head where my thoughts still roam, Where somehow I've come home. verse 3 And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare, And you just stare out the window in the darkness there. Well I was always late for every meal you'll swear, But keep my place and the empty chair, And somehow I'll be there, And somehow I'll be there.
