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
