So you call home for Christmas
|
It's for certain that they'll cross you off the list
|
And you can't go home and you won't stay here
|
Refusing to believe a single word they hear
|
|
Because after all when you break down
|
And your back's to the wall
|
You're a crisis with a backbeat
|
A sofa and a loveseat
|
|
And said now and then
|
We miss you mostly
|
There's an empty chair here
|
We guard it closely
|
|
You're so far gone
|
You're so unable
|
It's been so long
|
When you set the table
|
Don't set a place for me tonight
|
|
So we head for the coastline
|
Let's leave tonight
|
For the summer and sunshine
|
And everything's gonna be alright
|
|
This place is a ghost town
|
And the coast is clear
|
In a place like this
|
A ghost like me might find a way to disappear
|
|
Because after all when you break down
|
And your back's to the wall
|
You're a crisis with a backbeat
|
A sofa and a loveseat
|
|
And said now and then
|
We miss you mostly
|
There's an empty chair here
|
We guard it closely
|
|
You're so far gone
|
You're so unable
|
It's been so long
|
Before you clear the table
|
Raise a glass for me
|
Did you raise a glass for me tonight
|
|
Here's to friends and family
|
Here's to feelings you can't fight
|
Here's to comfort that you find
|
Here's to sleeping through the night
|
|
I'll find my way
|
It's the best that I can say
|
|
And said now and then
|
We miss you mostly
|
There's an empty chair here
|
We guard it closely
|
|
You're so far gone
|
You're so unable
|
It's been so long
|
So to friends and family
|
Could you say a prayer for me tonight
|

Guard It Closely
