Empty Chairs at Empty Tables | |

第三十八年夏至上传 | |
(Marius, recovering from his wounds, imagines he is back at the ABC cafe) | |
MARIUS | |
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 | |
I can hear them now! | |
The very words that they had sung | |
Became their last communion | |
On the lonely barricade at dawn. | |
Oh my friends, my friends forgive me | |
(The ghosts of those who died on the barricade appear) | |
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. | |
(The ghosts fade away) | |
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me | |
What your sacrifice was for | |
Empty chairs at empty tables | |
Where my friends will meet no more |
