Rick Springfield - My Father's Chair Lyrics
My fathers chair still standing thereAll alone since the long nightNow its three years on and I still feelHell come home, well be alrightSo wheres this healing time bringsI was told the pain would easeBut it still hurts like the first nightThat night my brother, my mother and iWere looking up at a distant starAnd wishing we could reach that farAnd back in the houseAnd alone for the first timeWe told each other we caredWe avoided my fathers chairI watch my family, we hold onWe are strong and well be alrightThe clock continues counting down, all the whileAnd every child will share the long nightBut do the spirits meet againWhy am I still so filled with doubtIs my soul everlastingAnd the far distant futureWhen I knew youd be goneCame too fast and stays too longWhy do they leave the weak of spiritAnd take the strongWhen the world turns sourAnd I get sick from the smellAnd I cant find no comfort thereI climb into my fathers chair
