Lyrics
0:33If I should close my eyes that my soul can see
0:40And there's a place at the table that you saved for me
0:46So many thousand miles over land and sea
0:52I hope to dare that you hear my prayer
1:00And somehow I'll be there
1:08It's but a concrete floor where my head will lay
1:14And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay
1:21But there's a shaft of light where I count my days
1:27So don't despair of the empty chair
1:35And somehow I'll be there
1:42Some days I'm strong some days I'm weak
1:48And days when I'm broken I can barely speak
1:54There's a place in my head where my thoughts still roam
2:00Somehow I've come home
2:07And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare
2:14And you just stare out the window in the darkness there
2:20Well I was always late for every meal you'll swear
2:27But keep my place and the empty chair
2:35And somehow I'll be there
2:43And somehow I'll be there
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 when I'm broken I can barely speak There's a place in my head where my thoughts still roam 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
