[00:12.000]There’s a grief that can’t be spoken.
[00:18.000]There’s a pain goes on and on.
[00:23.600]Empty chairs at empty tables
[00:27.000]Now my friends are dead and gone.
[00:34.600]Here they talked of revolution.
[00:40.600]Here it was they lit the flame.
[00:46.300]Here they sang about `tomorrow’
[00:49.600]And tomorrow never came.
[00:58.000]From the table in the corner
[01:03.600]They could see a world reborn
[01:09.000]And they rose with voices ringing
[01:14.000]I can hear them now!
[01:18.600]The very words that they had sung
[01:24.600]Became their last communion
[01:34.600]On the lonely barricade at dawn.
[01:43.000]Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
[01:47.600]That I live and you are gone.
[01:53.000]There’s a grief that can’t be spoken.
[01:58.600]There’s a pain goes on and on.
[02:04.000]Phantom faces at the window.
[02:10.000]Phantom shadows on the floor.
[02:14.300]Empty chairs at empty tables
[02:18.200]Where my friends will meet no more.
[02:25.100]Oh my friends, my friends, don’t ask me
[02:35.400]What your sacrifice was for
[02:40.000]Empty chairs at empty tables
[02:45.000]Where my friends will sing no more.
