Lyrics

Behind the Curtain

Where are you know?
My man, my suiter
Out of my life for good
Have you gone behind the curtain?
The eyes so far oh very near
My baby just have no fear
Me, i'm ceratin i am here
Where are you now?
My man, my father
Far from my life for good
Or in your ivory tower
Have you gone behind the curtain?
The eyes so far oh very near
My baby just have no fear
Me, i'm certain i am here
We know to i afraid and delight
That these stars still shine in the night
That's how you'll last for me all night
Forever in the shadows it right
Dear audience, sweet spectater
We're together for good
Or till i loose feelings
Have you gone behind the curtain?
The eyes so far oh very near
My baby just have no fear, babe
Me, i'm certain i am here
Have you gone behind the curatian?
The eyes so far oh very near
My baby just have no fear
I am here
