[00:08.63]There’s a grief that can’t be spoken.
[00:14.14]There’s a pain goes on and on.
[00:20.28]Empty chairs at empty tables
[00:24.79]Now my friends are dead and gone.
[00:32.02]Here they talked of revolution.
[00:37.68]Here it was they lit the flame.
[00:43.41]Here they sang about `tomorrow
[00:48.04]And tomorrow never came.
[00:56.04]From the table in the corner
[01:00.88]They could see a world reborn
[01:05.82]And they rose with voices ringing
[01:10.26]I can hear them now!
[01:14.33]The very words that they had sung
[01:20.63]Became their last communion
[01:28.34]On the lonely barricade at dawn.
[01:37.30]Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
[01:42.69]That I live and you are gone.
[01:48.35]There’s a grief that can’t be spoken.
[01:52.19]There’s a pain goes on and on.
[01:58.48]Phantom faces at the window.
[02:02.96]Phantom shadows on the floor.
[02:07.70]Empty chairs at empty tables
[02:11.23]Now my friends will meet no more.
[02:17.53]Oh my friends, my friends, don’t ask me
[02:26.20]What your sacrifice was for
[02:31.49]Empty chairs at empty tables
[02:36.54]Now my friends will sing no more.
