The Missing
Admiral Bob
For many of us, this day has one bittersweet quality: at least one empty chair.
The Missing
We gather round the table,
But a chair is empty now.
A one we loved so dearly,
No longer in the here and now
Sailor on the winter sea,
Drifting on the far-off waves
And I scan out past the lighthouse lights
To let you know we’ve saved a place
And oh, we cross the drifting snow
Caravans across the void
Even though you are not here,
I recall you unalloyed
Sailor on the winter sea,
Drifting on the far-off waves
And I scan out past the lighthouse lights
To let you know we’ve saved a place
We’ll hold on to the memories,
In Yules to pass and yet to be
Though we’re lost and far apart,
The tower’s lamp alights my heart
Sailor on the winter sea,
Drifting on the far-off waves
And I scan out past the lighthouse lights
To let you know we’ve saved a place
Oh you know we’ve saved a place
Don’t you know we’ve saved a place?
