One less plate (work in progress)

[Rcpd0715]

I wrote this really quick today based on the upcoming holidays being the first ones without my Dad. I already know the recording quality is bad and there are a couple mess ups lol, but let me know what you think

One less plate

 

The leaves are gone, the air is cold

Another year with old stories told

We're together again, but something has changed

Something with the way the table is arranged

 

Chorus:

 

There's one less plate, There's one less chair

There's one less laugh in the air

There's one less man, There's one less smile

There's one less father, There's one less child

 

Folding chairs, for a place to sit

Elbow to elbow, trying to make us fit

Looking around, I wonder if he's just late

Then I remember, why there is one less plate

 

Chorus repeat

 

There's extra food, there's extra space

There's one less here, but we have extra grace

We have each other, we have his love

He's now at a table, with God above

 

Chorus repeat x2

So the voice is good - treat yourself to some decent recording gear. You'll get a big buzz out of a nice recording or your songs.

Thank you chordptrn, I am hoping to have some here really soon

I'm liking this. You seem to be on the right track with this song. Really digging the doubled vocals on the chorus.
