[ti:Empty Chairs] [ar:Don McLean] [al:The Very Best Of Don McLean] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Empty Chairs (Live/1973) - Don McLean [00:09.59]I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night [00:14.89]Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright [00:19.82]Beams of blue come flickering through my window pane [00:25.31]Like gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame [00:31.48]And I wonder if you know [00:36.81]That I never understood [00:42.04]That although you said you'd go [00:45.56]Until you did I never thought you would [01:03.99]Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face [01:09.02]While chestnut hair fell all around the pillow case [01:14.46]And the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my head [01:20.23]A sympathy bouquet left with the love that's dead [01:26.98]And I wonder if you know [01:31.95]That I never understood [01:37.27]That although you said you'd go [01:40.79]Until you did I never thought you would [01:47.90]Never thought the words you said were true [01:52.94]Never thought you said just what you meant [01:58.02]Never knew how much I needed you [02:02.99]Never thought you'd leave until you went [02:20.42]Morning comes and morning goes with no regret [02:25.50]And evening brings the memories I can't forget [02:31.21]Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs [02:36.77]And empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs [02:44.25]And I wonder if you know [02:49.44]That I never understood [02:54.64]That although you said you'd go [02:58.34]Until you did I never thought you would
