Lyrics for Shadow Song

If you get there before me, will you save me a seat? If you get there before me, would you save me a seat? And if I never get there at all Would you leave the seat empty? If you get there before me, will you light us a fire? If you get there before me, will you light us a fire? And if I never show, will you watch the embers glow? Would you keep the fire burning? This is a song for you In case I never make it through to where you are This is a song for you In case I never make it through to where you are
