[00:06.63]There's a grief that can't be spoken.
[00:11.96]There's a pain goes on and on.
[00:16.85]Empty chairs at empty tables
[00:20.65]Now my friends are dead and gone.
[00:27.40]Here they talked of revolution.
[00:32.86]Here it was they lit the flame.
[00:38.20]Here they sang about 'tomorrow'
[00:41.59]And tomorrow never came.
[00:48.76]From the table in the corner
[00:56.08]They could see a world reborn
[01:00.97]And they rose with voices ringing
[01:05.02]I can hear them now!
[01:09.52]The very words that they had sung
[01:17.88]Became their last communion
[01:25.16]On the lonely barricade at dawn.
[01:33.94]Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
[01:38.46]That I live and you are gone.
[01:45.21]There's a grief that can't be spoken.
[01:49.26]There's a pain goes on and on.
[01:55.38]Phantom faces at the window.
[02:00.36]Phantom shadows on the floor.
[02:05.55]Empty chairs at empty tables
[02:09.23]Where my friends will meet no more.
[02:15.74]Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me
[02:24.20]What your sacrifice was for
[02:29.88]Empty chairs at empty tables
[02:34.25]Where my friends will sing no more
