Empty Seat

Lyrics

Verse 1 Every mornin’ she’d slip through that diner door, Same old booth, coffee black, nothin’ more. Never spoke, just stared where the shadows creep, Today her seat’s empty, and the silence cuts deep. Chorus Oh, the empty seat, where’d she go? Carried her story where nobody knows. A ghost in the booth, left a chill in the air, Empty seat’s whisperin’, she ain’t there. Verse 2 Worn-out coat, eyes like a lonesome rain, No one asked her story, not even her name. Waitress hums soft, but the counter feels wrong, Her shadow’s gone quiet, where it used to belong. Chorus Oh, the empty seat, where’d she go? Carried her story where nobody knows. A ghost in the booth, left a chill in the air, Empty seat’s whisperin’, she ain’t there. Bridge Was she runnin’ from hurt, or chasin’ a dream? Lost in the cracks of a life’s frayed seam. That booth holds her echo, a truth left unsaid, A stranger’s gone missin’, but she ain’t dead. Chorus Oh, the empty seat, where’d she go? Carried her story where nobody knows. A ghost in the booth, left a chill in the air, Empty seat’s whisperin’, she ain’t there. Outro In that small-town diner, ‘neath the hum of the light, Her seat stays empty, through the long, lonesome night.
