RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics : "My Father's Chair"

(Springfield)
My father's chair's still standing there
All alone since the long night

Now it's three years on and I still feel
He'll come home, we'll be alright
So where's this healing time brings

I was told the pain would ease
But it still hurts like the first night


That night my brother, my mother and I
Were looking up at a distant star
And wishing we could reach that far

And back in the house
And alone for the first time
We told each other we cared

We avoided my father's chair

I watch my family, we hold on

We are strong and we'll be alright
The clock continues counting down,
All the while

And every child will share the long night
But do the spirits meet again
Why am I still so filled with doubt

Is my soul everlasting

And the far distant future

When I knew you'd be gone
Came too fast and stays too long
Why do they leave the weak of spirit

And take the strong

But wherein the world turns sour

And I get sick from the smell
And I can't find no comfort there
I climb into my father's chair
