On my own

Pretending he's beside me

All alone

I walk with him 'til morning

Without him

I feel his arms around me

And when I lose my way I close my eyes

And he has found me

In the rain

The pavement shines like silver

All the lights are misty in the river

In the darkness

The trees are full of starlight

And all I see is him and me forever and forever

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

Bring him peace

Bring him joy

He is young

He is only a boy

You can take

You can give

Let him be

Let him live

If I die

Let me die

Let him live

Bring him home

Bring him home

Bring him home
