Guard It Closely lyrics

So you call home for Christmas

It`s for certain that they`ll cross you off the list

And you can`t go home and you won`t stay here

Refusing to believe a single word they hear



Because after all when you break down

And your back`s to the wall

You`re a crisis with a backbeat

A sofa and a loveseat



And said now and then

We miss you mostly

There`s an empty chair here

We guard it closely



You`re so far gone

You`re so unable

It`s been so long

When you set the table

Don`t set a place for me tonight



So we head for the coastline

Let`s leave tonight

For the summer and sunshine

And everything`s gonna be alright



This place is a ghost town

And the coast is clear

In a place like this

A ghost like me might find a way to disappear



Because after all when you break down

And your back`s to the wall

You`re a crisis with a backbeat

A sofa and a loveseat



And said now and then

We miss you mostly

There`s an empty chair here

We guard it closely



You`re so far gone

You`re so unable

It`s been so long

Before you clear the table

Raise a glass for me

Did you raise a glass for me tonight



Here`s to friends and family

Here`s to feelings you can`t fight

Here`s to comfort that you find

Here`s to sleeping through the night



I`ll find my way

It`s the best that I can say



And said now and then

We miss you mostly

There`s an empty chair here

We guard it closely



You`re so far gone

You`re so unable

It`s been so long

So to friends and family

Could you say a prayer for me tonight
