Filling that lonesome place

Verse 1:

The morning came but you weren’t there,

Just sunlight on your empty chair.

The coffee pot still hums your tune,

But the sound fades slow like a harvest moon.

Chorus:

Oh, this cabin walls, they echo through,

With every ghost of me and you.

But the heart can’t live on tears and grace,

Someday I’ll fill that lonesome place.

Verse 2:

I walk the fields where wildflowers grow,

Still half expect your face to show.

Your laughter lingers in the breeze,

Like fiddle notes through weepin’ trees.

Chorus:

Oh, this cabin walls, they echo through,

With every ghost of me and you.

But the heart can’t live on tears and grace,

Someday I’ll fill that lonesome place.

Bridge:

I’ll keep your picture on the shelf,

But I can’t just keep losin’ myself.

Love don’t die, it only hides,

Till another kind of light arrives.

Final Chorus:

Oh, this cabin walls, they echo through,

I’ll always carry the best of you.

But you’d want me to find my way,

To fill that lonesome place someday.

Tag:

Yeah, I’ll fill that lonesome place someday.
