(There were) Two chairs sitting on the beach
Side by side, 'n easy reach
Two chairs in the setting sun
You held a rose, and I, a gun

Then we stood and walked up the stairs
Past all the empty chairs
And at the top
You took off my watch
And laid it down beside us there

Two chairs beside the fire
Darkness fell, the flames grew higher
Lying there in the afterglow
The cognac and the falling snow

We knew our love would never end.
There is no tree that cannot bend
It's me and you
We'll see it through
So much more and less than friends

Two chairs sitting on the deck
I touched your hand, you kissed my neck
We talked of hope, and talked of fear
Camembert and Alsatian beer

But then I felt you turn away
I could not find words to say
Oh what went wrong?
We lost our song
I felt the music fade away

A life is measured out in chairs
Dishes washed, teddy bears
Houses built and children raised
Battles fought and honour praised

Now those chairs are far apart
Cold and empty as my heart
We can sit and talk
Or turn and walk
Come and sit by me again

(Spoken ad lib)

Now the chairs they are all gone
Someone else cuts that lawn
The beach is dry and so am I
Tears are raining from the sky

Still I think about you and me
And all the things we used to be
(spoken) I don't know what to say
I don't know what to say
