about

A love song.

lyrics

C
Two chairs sitting on the beach
G
Side by side, an easy reach
C
Two chairs in the setting sun
G
You had a rose, and I, a gun

F
Then we stand and walk up the stairs
C G
Past all the empty chairs
Am
And at the top
Em
You took off my watch
Dm G7
And laid it down beside us there

Two chairs beside the fire
Darkness fell, the flames grew higher
Lying there in the after glow
Cognac and the falling snow

We knew our love would never end.
There is no tree that cannot bend
It’s me and you
We’ll see it through
So much more and less than friends

Two chairs sitting on the deck
I touched your hand, you kissed my neck
Talk of hope, and talk of fear
Camembert and Alsatian beer

But I felt you turn away
I could not find a word to say
What went wrong?
We lost our song
I felt the music fade away

Our life measured out in chairs
Dishes washed, teddy bears
Houses built and children raised
Battles won and honour praised

Now those chairs are far apart
Cold and empty as my heart
We can sit and talk
Or turn and walk
Come and sit with me again

Instrumental (spoken ad lib two chairs)

Now the chairs they are all gone
Someone else cuts the lawn
The beach is dry and so am I
Tears are raining from the sky)

I still think about you and me
And all the things we used to be
(spoken) I don’t know what to say
Who needs chairs anyway
Just you and me
