lyrics

(a single seat creaks in the dark)

They swept the stage an hour ago
The ghost light's on, the house is low
Your seat's the one that folded up
There's still a ring from your paper cup
(hollow, hollow)

I took my bow to no one there
(no one)
Applause is only moving air

You don't come back for the encore
No matter how long I implore
The encore was written for you
The encore, sung into the blue
(encore... encore...)

I kept your ticket stub, Row Z
You liked it far, you liked to see
You said the last row hears it whole
Every echo, every soul
(every soul)

So I sing past the rigging, past the doors
Past the car park, past the shores
If any note can reach that far —
(that far, that far)
It's yours.

You don't come back for the encore
No matter how long I implore
The encore was written for you
The encore, sung into the blue
(encore... encore...)

Goodnight, my last row.
(the ghost light hums)
