So I took a drive over to his house
Though I knew he wasn't there
He was always standing looking out that window
Or sitting in his easy chair
He was always a bit of a mystery
Always seemed so far away
Even when he was standing next to me
We never had that much to say
He would always hear me coming or going
From a million miles away
I'd see his silhouette in the window
Every time I pulled out of the driveway
Now there's a shadow in the window that's missing
There's a shadow in the window that's gone
I only wanna tell you I love you
And I'm doing my best to be strong
And hold on
I always wondered what he was thinking
Was he waiting for me to crash?
Or maybe he just wanted to come with me
But I never thought to ask
And I wondered what he was doing
Watching me every time I drove away
And I wondered what he did that for
Maybe he just wanted me to stay
Now there's a shadow in the window that's missing
There's a shadow in the window that's gone
I only wanna tell you I love you
And I'm doing my best to be strong
And maybe I'll see you in heaven
At least that's how the story goes
Now there's a shadow in the window that's missing
And I'm having a hard time letting go
And maybe he felt like a prisoner bound by
Invisible chains hidden all around, yeah
It took more out of life than it took out of him
He said, "Son, I want you to be so much better than me"
He told so many stories
I was never sure which ones were true
But he was too big for this small town
He was an Irishman through and through
And the bagpipes moaned on that cold day
The day we laid him to rest
But all I could say as I drive away
"I'm sorry that it came to this"
Now there's a shadow in the window that's missing
There's a shadow in the window that's gone
I only wanna tell you I love you
And I'm sorry that things went so wrong
And maybe I'll see you in heaven
At least that's how the story goes
Now there's a shadow in the window that's missing
And I'm having a hard time letting go
Hey, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, ooh
Hey, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I do
Hey, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, ooh
Hey, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, ooh
Hey, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
Hey, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I do
I love you, I love you
