Lyrics

Empty Chairs at her table
Even on holidays
On her walls dusty photographs
Of yellowed yesterdays

A shadow with a heartbeat
Behind venetian blinds
Peering at a world
That long ago left her behind

The highback chair was for Thomas
They married in '49
Soon came Kate and Timmy
Who now haven't got the time
But she listens to her memories
And sounds no longer there
Sitting in her silent house
Fill of Empty Chairs

Their echoes fill the kitchen
Like voices on a breeze
"Mama, may I have seconds?"
"Only if you say please"

Up on the cupboard
A fading 8 X 10
Marked "Christmas dinner 1959"
The chairs are full again

(CHORUS)

Empty Chairs at her table
Even on holidays
