Michael Ball - Empty Chairs, Empty Tables Lyrics
(claude-michel schonberg/alain boubil/herbert kretzmer)Theres a grief that cant be spokenTheres a pain goes on and onEmpty chairs at empty tablesNow my friends are dead and gone.Here they talked of revolutionHere it was they lit the flameHere they sang about tomorrowAnd tomorrow never cameFrom the table in the cornerThey could see a world rebornAnd they rose with voices ringingI can hear them nowThe very words that they had sungBecame their last communionOn the lonely barricade at dawn!Oh my friends, my friends, forgive meThat I live and you are gone.Theres a grief that cant be spokenTheres a pain goes on and on.Phantom faces at the windowPhantom shadows on the floorEmpty chairs at empty tablesWhere my friends will meet no more.Oh my friends, my friends, dont ask meWhat your sacrifice was forEmpty chairs at empty tablesWhere my friends will sing no more.
