The guests lyrics

One by one, the guests arrive

The guests are coming through

The open-hearted many

The broken-hearted few

[chorus]

No one knows where the night is going

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."

[chorus]

And all go stumbling through that house

In lonely secrecy

Saying "do reveal yourself"

Or "why has thou forsaken me?"

[chorus]

All at once the torches flare

The inner door flies open

One by one they enter there

In every style of passion

[chorus]

And here they take their sweet repast

While house and grounds dissolve

And one by one the guests are cast

Beyond the garden wall

[chorus]

Those who dance, begin to dance

Those who weep begin

And those who earnestly are lost

Are lost and lost again

[chorus]

One by the guests arrive

The guests are coming through

The broken-hearted many

The open-hearted few

[chorus]
