Sting - the empty chair

가사는 사랑하는 이를 향한 그리움과 소망을 그리며, 심리적, 정서적 유대감을 강조합니다
주인공은 공허함 속에서도 그들과 함께할 날을 꿈꾸며 의지와 희망을 가지고 있으며, 결국 그들의 곁으로 돌아갈 것이라는 다짐을 표현합니다
이러한 마음가짐은 힘든 순간에도 그들을 잊지 않고 있다는 메시지를 전합니다

If I should close my eyes, that my soul can see
And there's a place at the table that you saved for me
So many thousand miles over land and sea
I hope to dare, that you hear my prayer
And somehow I'll be there
It's but a concrete floor where my head will lay
And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay
But there's a shaft of light where I count my days
So don't despair of the empty chair
And somehow I'll be there
Some days I'm strong, some days I'm weak
And days I'm so broken I can barely speak
There’s a place in my head where my thoughts still roam
Where somehow I've come home
And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare
And you just stare out the window in the darkness there
Well I was always late for every meal you'll swear
But keep my place and the empty chair
And somehow I'll be there
And somehow I'll be there
