THE VACANT DOOR
Always at the close of day, love,
I come home, as I did before,
But I find a vacant place there
Waiting for me at the cabin door.
He is gone, but not forgotten,
Oh why did we ever part.
There's a vacant place that can never be
filled.
The vacant place down in my heart.
Then of night when the fire is shining
Shadows are creeping on the hearth
No one to fill that vacant place there,
No one to know what he was worth.
I find a tear drop failing
My heart for you is calling
Calling for you, as never before,
To fill the vacant place of the old cabin
door.
I see your dear sweet smiling face,
As I often did before
No one can take your place, love,
No one at the old cabin door.
