Lyrics:

The chair by the door is still empty tonight
Your jacket still hangs
Faded by time
I'm missing four footsteps
That'll never arrive
Years pass like seasons
I'm just staying alive
Your room smells the same
Like yesterday day's rain
I whisper your name
The heaven's quiet again
Every candle I light
Burns weaker than before
My hands shake with age
As I kneel on the floor
I'm waiting, my son
Though my hair's turning grey
The clock keeps stealing my strength every day
God promised my heart
What my eyes cannot see
That someday you'll come back
And run back to me
I taught you to pray
To stand when you fall
Now I talk to your shadow
On this cracked hallway wall
The world took your hand
Pulled you far from my sight
Did it give you peace
Or just louder night?
My voice grows weaker
My breath feels thin
But I saved my last strength
For when you walk in
If my heart stops beating
Before that day comes
Lord, tell 'em I waited
I never moved on
I'm waiting, my son
Though I'm fading away
Still trusting God's promise
Will bring you my way
If heaven is listening
Let this be true
Before I go home
Let me see you, just you
The door's still unlocked
I'll wait 'til my last breath
