There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone

Here they talked of revolution
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came

From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
And I can hear them now!
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On this lonely barricade at dawn

Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on

Phantom faces at the windows
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 friends will sing no more

Josh Groban

An American pop singer/songwriter, producer and Tony nominated performer — Josh Groban has been a forced to be reckoned with in the music industry for nearly two decades.

Josh was attending the LA County for the Arts and attending vocal lessons when he got a call from producer David Foster to sing at the governor’s inauguration. He did so well, Foster called on Groban again to rehearse with Céline Dion at the 1999 Grammy’s, and the rest was history.

He was signed to Warner Bros. Records and released his self-titled debut album in 2001. He has gone on to release seven albums as of 2016 and has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide.
