Your performance is almost over
|
When you're through I will take you home
|
To a place where the water's always fresh and cool
|
I will lay you down, take off your shoes
|
|
Yes, the curtain is about to take your place
|
There's that sad, almost grin upon your face
|
a¢æ?Cause you know you've done your best
|
Now honey leave the rest to me and I'll take care of you
|
|
As they watch you fall down to your knees
|
They don't know that you're praying to please
|
They don't see the little angel at your back with a star
|
The only one who knows exactly who you are
|
|
You're a thing that makes music they don't understand
|
And they cheer as you carry out your endless plan
|
You are weary but you must, it's the only thing you trust
|
As you live you've got to give
|
|
Your performance is almost over
|
When you're through I will take you home
|
You're a ghost that I can see, you're the other part of me
|
Now honey I will take care of you
|
|
a¢æ?Cause you know you've done your best
|
Now honey leave the rest to me and I'll take care of you
|
