lyrics

An empty chair, worn down by all the years
A lonely face, waiting with eyes fighting tears
A torn dirt road leading to an old memory
As the breeze says hello, she thinks of her only family

But I know its hard to see the road
It's cold and it's dark, it's bent and it's bowed
And the place that you are, may just erode
But you won't get too far with that heavy arm load

She sat by his side, regal with loyal paws
The dance of her tail, careless to all his flaws
They watched the song of every passing bird
On their old word porch, waiting for time to go backwards

But I know its hard to see the road
It's cold and it's dark it's bent and it's bowed
And the place that you are, may just erode
But you won't get too far with that heavy arm load

Wake up my dear
Stand tall, have no fear
I'll always be smiling near

Cause in the dying embers
Of your eyes, I saw a spark
A spark of life so beautiful
I'll miss you always my two-legged friend
