Second Set

Play it for the empty room

Play it for the empty room

Ray's been loading in since half past five

Same three amps, same beat-up drive

Barman says the crowd's a little thin tonight

Ray says son, it always is

— that's alright (ahhh)

There's a girl at the bar on her phone

And a man at the back who came here to be alone

So play it for the empty room

Play it like it's 1982

Play it for the ones who didn't come

Play it for the empty room

Second set,

he plays the one he wrote

Twenty-seven years and still nobody knows He hits the bridge,

the barman dims the light

And for about a minute

he's the biggest thing in sight

There's a girl at the bar on her phone

And a man at the back who came here to be alone

So play it for the empty room

Play it like it's 1982

Play it for the ones who didn't come Play it for the

empty room

He's not waiting to be found

He stopped waiting a long time ago

He just likes the sound

So play it for the empty room

Play it like it's 1982

Play it for the ones who didn't come

Play it for the empty room (hummmmm)
