Through my open window, noise seeps in.
Anfield's lights shine, after a Liverpool win.
The traffic is sparse, a few indicators blink.
The pubs are empty, no after match drink.

In Stanley Park car park, the cars pull away.
But not much traffic, like a usual match day.
No badges or scarves to be sold on a stall.
It's like a footy match never happened at all.

No football special buses, waiting in a row.
No away fans being shown which way to go.
The chippies are all closed, no pies for sale.
All over the country, the same old sorry tale.

Around Anfield tonight, it's all quiet and still
No vibrancy, no excitement, just a cold chill.
Football behind closed doors, it's not for me.
As fans are the lifeblood...and will always be.
