On my own... pretending he's beside me
All alone, I walk with him till morning
Without him, the 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 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
