Empty Chair Blues

Sunrise paints the kitchen gold, same as yesterday Coffee brewing, story's old, since you went away Footsteps echo on the floor, a ghost within the room Just the ticking of the clock, drowning in the gloom Oh, the empty chair blues got a hold on me Shadows dance and memories, all I can see This lonesome ache won't let me be, night and day Empty chair blues, since you walked away Dust motes float in morning light, where your hand once lay Tried to chase away the night, but the sun just hurts today Heard a song upon the breeze, sounded just like ours Whispered through the willow trees, counting lonely hours Oh, the empty chair blues got a hold on me Shadows dance and memories, all I can see This lonesome ache won't let me be, night and day Empty chair blues, since you walked away Maybe one day I'll move on, find a brand new tune But every setting of the sun, reminds me of the moon Just a single empty space, where your laughter used to bloom Haunts this quiet, lonely place, deep inside this room Oh, the empty chair blues got a hold on me Shadows dance and memories, all I can see This lonesome ache won't let me be, night and day Empty chair blues, since you walked away Yeah, the empty chair blues... ain't got no cure Just this empty chair... forever more...
