Where Did They Go?

[Verse]
The fire burned low
The embers dim
The laughter faded
The walls grew grim
Chairs sit empty
Dust settles slow
Where did they go? Where did they go?

[Chorus]
Empty chairs at the table tonight
Faces missing in the flickering light
The echo lingers
The silence grows
Where did they go? Nobody knows

[Verse 2]
The photograph fades
The ink runs dry
Names forgotten
Like clouds in the sky
The dog still waits by the old oak door
But they come no more
They come no more

[Prechorus]
The clock ticks on
A stubborn beat
Counting moments they'll never meet

[Chorus]
Empty chairs at the table tonight
Faces missing in the flickering light
The echo lingers
The silence grows
Where did they go? Nobody knows

[Bridge]
I hear their voices in the wind’s soft cry
Whispered secrets
A faint goodbye
The fields are barren
The river still
Time won’t heal
Time never will
