Empty chairs at empty tables

“Phantom faces at the window, 
Phantom shadows on the floor, 
Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will meet no more. 
Oh my friends, my friends don’t ask me 
what your sacrifice was for 
Empty chairs at empty tables 
Where my friend will sing no more.”

(Les Miserables in Empty chairs at empty tables)
Voroux-Goreux (B)
