Letra de Guard It Closely

[Verse 1]
So you call home for Christmas
It's for certain that they'll cross you off the list
And you can't go home, but you won't stay here
They're refusing to believe a single word they hear
[Pre-Chorus]
Because after all
When you break down and your back's to the wall
You're a crisis with a backbeat
And a sofa and a love seat
[Chorus]
They said
"Now and then, we miss you, mostly
There's an empty chair here
We guard it closely."
You're so far gone
You're so unable
It's been so long
When you set the table
Don't set a place for me
Don't set a place for me tonight
[Verse 2]
So we head for the coastline
Let's leave tonight
For the summer and sunshine
And everything's gonna be alright
This place is a ghost town
And the coast is clear
In a place like this
A ghost like me might find a way to disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
Because after all
When you break down and your back's to the wall
You're a crisis with a backbeat
And a sofa and a love seat
[Chorus]
They said
"Now and then, we miss you, mostly
There's an empty chair here
We guard it closely."
You're so far gone
You're so unable
It's been so long
Before you clear the table
Raise a glass for me
Could you raise a glass for me tonight?
[Bridge]
Here's to friends and family
Here's to feelings you can't fight
Here's to comfort that you find
Here's to sleeping through the night
I'll find my way
It's the best that I can say
[Chorus]
"Now and then, we miss you, mostly
There's an empty chair here
We guard it closely."
You're so far gone
You're so unable
It's been so long
So to friends and family
Could you say a prayer for me tonight?
