The Guests

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 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 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 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 All at once the torches flare The inner door flies open One by one they enter there In every style of pa*sion 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 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 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 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 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 One by one 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 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
