Empty Chairs at Empty Tables - Josh Groban

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

From the table in the corner

They could see a world reborn

And they rose with voices ringing

And I can hear them now

The every words that they had sung

Became their last communion

On the lonely barricade at dawn

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 say no more
