My Father`s Chair — текст песни (Rick Springfield)

My Father`s Chair still standing there
All alone since the long night
Now it`s three years on and I still feel
He`ll come home, we`ll be alright


So where`s this healing time brings
I was told the pain would ease
But it still hurts like the first night

That night my brother, my mother and I
Were looking up at a distant star
And wishing we could reach that far
And back in the house
And alone for the first time
We told each other we cared
We avoided My Father`s Chair

I watch my family, we hold on
We are strong and we`ll be alright
The clock continues counting down, all the while
And every child will share the long night

But do the spirits meet again
Why am I still so filled with doubt
Is my soul everlasting

And the far distant future
When I knew you`d be gone
Came too fast and stays too long
Why do they leave the weak of spirit
And take the strong

When the world turns sour
And I get sick from the smell
And I can`t find no comfort there
I climb into My Father`s Chair
