Empty Chairs
I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless nightCreep through my fingers and the moon is brightBeams of blue come flickering through my window paneLike gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame
And I wonder if you knowThat I never understoodThat although you said you'd goUntil you did I never thought you would
Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your faceWhile chestnut hair fell all around the pillow caseAnd the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my headA sympathy bouquet left with the love that's dead
And I wonder if you knowThat I never understoodThat although you said you'd goUntil you did, I never thought you would
Never thought the words you said were trueNever thought you said just what you meantNever knew how much I needed youNever thought you'd leave, until you went
Morning comes and morning goes with no regretAnd evening brings the memories I can't forgetEmpty rooms that echo as I climb the stairsAnd empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs
And I wonder if you knowThat I never understoodThat although you said you'd goUntil you did, I never thought you would
