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 ll my guests come in"



And no one knows where . . .



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 . . .



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 . . .



And here they take there sweet repast

While house and grounds dissolve

And one by one the guests are casts

Beyond the garden wall



And no one knows where . . .



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 . . .



One by one the guests arrive

The guests are coming through

The broken-hearted many

The open-hearted few



And no one knows where . . .
