[Lyric] An Empty Classroom (Marc Gibbens)

Again, you're gone, off in a different room than mine
Corona came, keeping us out of our classrooms
You had to go, to keep us healthy and fine
I probably could catch up with you on Zo-oom


But is this what it feels like to be learning apart?
When did social distancing become the new form of art?


Now I turn around and find I have an empty classroom
South is closed, no English, when you're gone
You can read your books at home, but I’ve an empty classroom
And I don’t know when the reading is due


An empty classroom!


Up till now the next class was a question of how
I never thought it was a question of whether
Who am I, if I'm not your teacher?
Where am I, if we're not together third hour?

Now I know my life has changed, 'cause I’ve an empty classroom
Writing’s done, books are closed, when you're not there
Oh, you're my only students, but I’ve an empty classroom
Wondering if you still care


But I'll wait

For a Zoom

Cause now it’s true
That’s our new room


Until then, I’ve an empty classroom
An empty classroom

Empty classroom
