The Empty Chair Lyrics - Sting

If I should close my eyes, that my soul can see, 

And there's a place at the table that you saved for me 

So many thousand miles over land and sea, 

I hope to dare, that you hear my prayer 

And somehow I'll be there 

It's but a concrete floor where my head will lay, 

And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay 

But there's a shaft of light where I count my days 

So don't despair of the empty chair 

And somehow I'll be there 

Some days I'm strong, some days I'm weak 

And days I'm so broken I can barely speak 

There's a place in my head where my thoughts still roam 

Where somehow I've come home

And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare, 

And you just stare out the window in the darkness there 

Well I was always late for every meal you'll swear 

But keep my place and the empty chair 

And somehow I'll be there 

And somehow I'll be there
