Adam’s Empty Chair

Adam’s Empty chair, sits by the fire

Dust motes dance in the fading light

Your laugh, a ghost, a sweet choir

Haunts the edges of the night

Oh, Lord, why'd you take him away?

Leaving me with this empty space

I'm lost in the dark, I can't find my way

Just a memory of his sweet face

Sunrise paints the kitchen gold

Whiskeys there but it ain't the same

A story left forever untold

Just whispers calling out his name

Forgiveness feels a world away

A mountain I can't even climb

Oh, Lord, why'd you take him away?

Leaving me with this empty space

I'm lost in the dark, I can't find my way

Just a memory of his sweet face

Remember building that tree swing

Remember catching fireflies

The way he used to sing

Now silent are the skies
