I can hear the words you speak when the west wind whispers
I can hear your voice ring clear in the evergreens
Am I who you thought I'd be? Am I what you pictured?
Did you have me standin' here in your wildest dreams?
* Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Just like a memory
You never left me You just left too soon
** I'll save you a seat next to me You're always at the table
Hope you're proud of what you see Watchin' with the angels
You're written in my soul It's your blood that I bleed
Wherever you are, wherever I'll be I'll save you a seat
I feel you in the rain that falls, oh, I still get shivers
Runnin' like a family crow, down a Corvidae
Did you find Mom up there? Tell me, are you with her?
I wonder if the ones who go miss the ones who stay
( * , ** )
Keep your room like nothing's changed Try to love, but it's not the same
I damn near broke when I heard you name You had to go, you couldn't stay
So I'll save you a seat next to me You're always at the table
Hope you're proud of what you see Watchin' with the angels
