The Guests

Lyrics

One by one, the guests arrive  
The guests are coming through  
The open-hearted many  
The broken-hearted few  
And no one knows where the night is going  
And no one knows why the wine is flowing  
Oh love I need you  
I need you  
I need you  
I need you  
Oh I need you now  
  
And those who dance, begin to dance  
Those who weep begin  
And "Welcome, welcome" cries a voice  
"Let all my guests come in."  
  
And no one knows where the night is going  
  
And all go stumbling through that house  
in lonely secrecy  
Saying "Do reveal yourself"  
or "Why has thou forsaken me?"  
  
And no one knows where the night is going  
  
All at once the torches flare  
The inner door flies open  
One by one they enter there  
In every style of passion  
  
And no one knows where the night is going  
  
And here they take their sweet repast  
While house and grounds dissolve  
And one by one the guests are cast  
Beyond the garden wall  
  
And no one knows where the night is going  
  
Those who dance, begin to dance  
Those who weep begin  
Those who earnestly are lost  
Are lost and lost again  
  
And no one knows where the night is going  
  
One by the guests arrive  
The guests are coming through  
The broken-hearted many  
The open-hearted few  
  
And no one knows where the night is going
