《Vacant Chair(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Vacant Chair (Album Version) - Kathy Mattea

[00:00:06] Shall meet but we shall miss him

[00:00:12] There will be one vacant chair

[00:00:18] We shall linger to caress him

[00:00:23] While we breathe our evening prayer

[00:00:29] When a year ago we gathered

[00:00:35] Joy was in his mild blue eye

[00:00:40] But a golden chord is severed

[00:00:46] And our hopes in ruin lie

[00:00:52] We shall meet but we shall miss him

[00:00:58] There will be one vacant chair

[00:01:04] We shall linger to caress him

[00:01:09] While we breathe our evening prayer

[00:01:27] At our fireside sad and lonely

[00:01:33] Often will the bosom swell

[00:01:39] At remembrance of the story

[00:01:44] How our noble Willie sell

[00:01:50] How he strove to bear our banner

[00:01:56] Through the thickest of the fight

[00:02:01] And uphold our country's honor

[00:02:07] In the strength of manhood's night

[00:02:13] Well shall meet but we shall miss him

[00:02:19] There will be one vacant chair

[00:02:25] We shall meet linger to caress him

[00:02:30] While we breathe our evening prayer

[00:02:48] True they tell us wreaths of glory

[00:02:54] Ever more will deck his brow

[00:03:00] But this soothes the anguish only

[00:03:05] Sweeping o'er our heartstrings now

[00:03:11] Sleep today Oh early fallen

[00:03:17] In thy green and narrow bed

[00:03:23] Dirges from the pine and cypress

[00:03:29] Mingle with the tears we shed

[00:03:35] We shall meet but we shall miss him

[00:03:40] There will be one vacant chair

[00:03:46] We shall meet linger to caress him

[00:03:52] While we breathe our evening prayer
