The Chair
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Where? Where have you gone
Daniel, my youngest son?
I keep expecting you
To be here in your chair
Sitting in your favourite chair
When you swam into the water
I felt you leave through a thousand yawning miles
My heart slowed, my heart slowed
Never to pick up again
Pieces of my life are gone
Wahed away in the water that took my son
