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, now
 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, now
 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, now
 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 passion
 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, now
 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, now
 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, now
 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, now
 i need you now
