Empty Chairs

I feel a trembling tingle of a sleepless night

Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright

Beams of blue come flick'ring through my window pane

My gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame.

And I wonder if you know

That I never understood

That although you said you'd go

Until you did I never thought you would.

Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face

While chestnut hair fell all around the pillow case

And the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my head

A sympathy bouquet left with the love that's dead.

And I wonder if you know

That I never understood

That although you said you'd go

Until you did I never thought you would.

Never thought the words you said were true

Never thought you said just what you meant

Never knew how much I needed you

Never thought you'd leave until you went.

Morning comes and morning goes with no regret

The evening brings the memories I can't forget

Empty rooms that echoe as I climb the stairs

Empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs.

And I wonder if you know

That I never understood

That although you said you'd go

Until you did I never thought you would...
