Empty Seat Beside Me
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Streetlamps are sweeping their light across the seat where you should be
Grey fabric glowing soft as the buckle waits for only you and me
Nobody else needs this small warm space tonight
So close your eyes and let the whole wide world go quiet, Jimmy

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the light is moving slow and gentle overhead
Nothing can reach you here, tucked safely into bed
Let the hum of night carry you down, down, down

[Chorus]
Jimmy, my Jimmy, the night has room for you
Every soft shadow was made to see you through
Rest here, there's nothing you need to do
Sleep now, Jimmy, the whole dark sky loves you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a lamp keeps its slow watch over an empty little chair
Waiting the way that I wait, just to know that you are there
Nothing is missing while you're curled up warm like this
Stay right here where the quiet wraps around you, Jimmy

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the light is moving slow and gentle overhead
Nothing can reach you here, tucked safely into bed
Let the hum of night carry you down, down, down

[Chorus]
Jimmy, my Jimmy, the night has room for you
Every soft shadow was made to see you through
Rest here, there's nothing you need to do
Sleep now, Jimmy, the whole dark sky loves you

[Bridge]
Even the light that moves on without stopping still circles back to you
Held in the hush, you are the warmest thing this whole night knew

[Chorus]
Jimmy, my Jimmy, the night has room for you
Every soft shadow was made to see you through
Rest here, there's nothing you need to do
Sleep now, Jimmy, the whole dark sky loves you

[Outro]
The lamp will keep sweeping soft over the seat till morning comes
But you are already home, my Jimmy, safe where you belong
