The actors and jesters are here
|
The stage is in darkness and clear
|
For raising the curtain
|
and no-one's quite certain whose play it is
|
How long ago, how long
|
If only we had listened then.
|
If we'd known just how right we were going to be.
|
For we dreamed a lot
|
And we schemed a lot
|
And we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apart.
|
|
If everyone was listening you know
|
There'd be a chance that we could save the show
|
Who'll be the last clown
|
To bring the house down?
|
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall
|
|
Well, what is your costume today?
|
Who are the props in your play?
|
You're acting a part which you thought from the start
|
was an honest one.
|
Well how do you plead?
|
An actor indeed!
|
Go re-learn your lines,
|
You don't know what you've done
|
The finale's begun.
|
|
If everyone was listening you know
|
There'd be a chance that we could save the show,
|
Who'll be the last clown
|
To bring the house down?
|
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall.
