I leave the porch light burning through the haze
Lost in the memory of our summer days
I trace the rim of this old coffee cup
Just wishing that you might come wandering up
The clock is ticking past a quarter to three
A gentle breeze is moving through the cedar tree
I saved a space right here beside the fire
Wrapped in a blanket of this slow desire
Every footstep that I hear outside
Makes this longing so hard to hide
I catch a whisper in the midnight air
Looking across at your empty chair
Oh I just want you closer than a breath
Holding you tight until there's nothing left
Falling away in this quiet space
Lost in the warmth of your sweet embrace
Your empty chair is calling you near
I'll keep it warm until you are here
I wore that jacket you would always adore
The one I left lying right there by the door
Counting the embers as they start to fall
Wondering if you ever miss it all
Every footstep that I hear outside
Makes this longing so hard to hide
I catch a whisper in the midnight air
Looking across at your empty chair
Oh I just want you closer than a breath
Holding you tight until there's nothing left
Falling away in this quiet space
Lost in the warmth of your sweet embrace
Your empty chair is calling you near
I'll keep it warm until you are here
Even if the morning never brings the sun
I'll be the shelter when the day is done
You know Sayed will never let you fall
I'll be the answer when the shadows call
This quiet room is waiting for your touch
I never knew I could want so much
I can almost feel you sitting right across from me
This chair won't be empty for long
Oh I just want you closer than a breath
Holding you tight until there's nothing left
Falling away in this quiet space
Lost in the warmth of your sweet embrace
Lost in the memory of our summer days
I trace the rim of this old coffee cup
Just wishing that you might come wandering up
The clock is ticking past a quarter to three
A gentle breeze is moving through the cedar tree
I saved a space right here beside the fire
Wrapped in a blanket of this slow desire
Every footstep that I hear outside
Makes this longing so hard to hide
I catch a whisper in the midnight air
Looking across at your empty chair
Oh I just want you closer than a breath
Holding you tight until there's nothing left
Falling away in this quiet space
Lost in the warmth of your sweet embrace
Your empty chair is calling you near
I'll keep it warm until you are here
I wore that jacket you would always adore
The one I left lying right there by the door
Counting the embers as they start to fall
