Empty Stadium, One Light Left On

Lyrics

The crowd went home an hour ago
The seats are rows of grey
A paper cup rolls down the aisle
And the wind has come to play
The grass still holds the footprints
Of a thousand running feet
And I'm sitting in the top row
In my old familiar seat

Empty stadium, one light left on
Echoes of the cheering, and the cheering's gone
I can hear it if I listen
Like a tide that's moving on
Empty stadium, one light left on

My father brought me here once
I was only seven years old
He lifted me up on his shoulders
When the evening turned to gold
He's quiet now, and slower
But he knows the final score
And he squeezes my hand tighter
Than he ever did before

Empty stadium, one light left on
Echoes of the cheering, and the cheering's gone
I can hear it if I listen
Like a tide that's moving on
Empty stadium, one light left on

Some nights are for the shouting
Some nights are for the still
And I'll take the quiet any time
With the people that I will

Empty stadium, one light left on
Echoes of the cheering, and the cheering's gone
I can hear it if I listen
Like a tide that's moving on
Empty stadium, one light left on

One light left on
One light left on
