CAPO 1
Verse
There's a grief that can't be
spoken.
There's a pain goes on and on.
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and
gone.
Here they talked of revolution.
Here it was they lit the flame.
Here they sang about `tomorrow'
And tomorrow never came.
Chorus
From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices
ringing
I can hear them now!
The very words that they had
sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade at dawn.
Verse
Oh my friends, my friends
forgive me
That I live and you are gone.
There's a grief that can't be
spoken.
There's a pain goes on and on.
Phantom faces at the window.
Phantom shadows on the floor.
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no
more.
Oh my friends, my friends, don't
ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no
more.
