A red robin sits
On the shed you built for the kids
As the rain takes the good out of winter
And your sad santa sack
Makes it way to the front of the stack
On this silent and grey christmas morning
And i have no doubt that wherever you are
These next few hours will be twice as hard
But if you find the courage without the one or the two
There'll be a place at the table for you
The lights on the tree
Have yet to work right for me
And for the first time today your name is spoken
But i cannot ignore
All the tears you left at the door
And i hate that i miss you this morning
And i have no doubt that wherever you are
These next few hours will be twice as hard
But if you find the courage without the one or the two
There'll be a place at the table for you
A photograph, a christmas past, a nervous laugh
Memories so cruel
The street springs to life
As we make our way outside
And i welcome the sounds and the commotion
If all goodwill and cheer
Is lost on me this year
Then the least i can do is to keep trying
And i have no doubt that wherever you are
These next few hours will tear me apart
So please find the courage
Without the one or the two
And i'll have a place at the table for you
There'll be a place at the table for you
