LES MISERABLES lyrics : "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables"

MARIUS
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on

Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone.


Here they talked of revolution
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang about tomorrow

And tomorrow never came...

From the table in the corner

They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
And I can hear them now!

The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade at dawn.


Oh my friends, my friends, forgive me
That I live and you are gone

There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on...


Phantom faces at the window
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs at empty tables

Where my friends will meet no more.

Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me

What your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no more.
