Beth Williams - One Empty Chair

I'm sure most of us have had occurrences in our lives that left us feeling unsettled, and yet we weren't able to follow through with a phone call to straighten things out. Perhaps we assumed the other person would know what we were thinking, feel our pain, and care enough to call.  Sadly, when they didn't, they were simply no longer a part of our lives.  Human relationships may fail & disappoint us, but God won't. 

 "And the Lord, He is the one who goes before you.  He will be with you.  He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed."  Deuteronomy 31: 8

BEFORE THE FIRST RING
words & music by Beth Williams

Don't you feel her dialing your number?
Can't you hear her calling your name?
Don't you feel her dialing your number
and hanging up before the first ring
before the first ring

You always knew what she was thinking
love can be that strong
A golden ship forever sinking
beneath waves of song
You always knew what she was feeling
behind shaded eyes
Until a shaman gave you healing
along with wings to fly

Don't you feel her dialing your number?
Can't you hear her calling your name?
Don't you feel her dialing your number
and hanging up before the first ring
before the first ring


There was a time you stood waiting
right outside her door
High winds saw your footsteps fade
into a shell on shore
There was a time you swore wild horses
would not have a say
Funny then how quiet voices
carried you away bridge

Time won't give back what it takes
Oh what can she do?
But shadow dance with memories
of madness, wine & you
