Alison Miotke - An Empty Chair

Across the room sits an empty chair;
It's been a while since you sat there.
I look across the darkening sky
And wonder why you said goodbye.

As I sit on the dock i cry
My tears filling up the dark night sky.
I sit and cry and lie awake
My mood echoing the thunder over the lake.

I lost my friend that dreadful day
I prayed to God for you to stay.
I promise I will weep until the end,
Because of the day I lost my friend.
