(Verse 1) The coffee's cold, the clock is slow, Your coat still hangs by the door. I keep forgetting you're not home, Then I remember… more and more. (Chorus) There’s an empty chair across from me, Like a silence I can almost see. I talk to it like you’re still there, But I only hear the midnight air. (Verse 2) Your book lies open, page twenty-five, You never finished the final line. I read it now and then out loud, Just to feel you're still nearby. (Chorus) There’s an empty chair across from me, Like a ghost I let sit quietly. I set the table, just in case — But no one comes to take your place. (Final Chorus – soft and low) There’s an empty chair across from me, Not a prison, just a memory. And though you're gone, you still remain, In every whisper of the rain.
