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
