The Guests

[Verse 1]

One by one, the guests arrive

The guests are coming through

The open-hearted many

The broken-hearted few

[Chorus]

And no one knows where the night is goin'

And no one knows where the wine is flowin'

Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh

I need you now

[Verse 2]

And those who dance, begin to dance

Those who weep, begin

And welcome, welcome cries of voice

Let all my guests come in

[Chorus]

And no one knows where the night is goin'

And no one knows where the wine is flowin'

Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh

I need you now

[Verse 3]

And all goes stumbling through that house

In lonely secrecy

Saying "Do reveal yourself

Or why has thou forsaken me"

[Chorus]

And no one knows where the night is goin'

And no one knows where the wine is flowin'

Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh

I need you now

[Verse 4]

All at once the torches flare

The inner door flies open

One by one they enter there

In every style of passion

[Chorus]

And no one knows where the night is goin'

And no one knows where the wine is flowin'

Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh

I need you now

[Verse 5]

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]

And no one knows where the night is goin'

And no one knows where the wine is flowin'

Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh

I need you now

[Verse 6]

For those who dance, begin to dance

Those who weep, begin

Those who earnestly are lost

Are lost, and lost begin

[Chorus]

And no one knows where the night is goin'

And no one knows where the wine is flowin'

Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh

I need you now

[Verse 7]

One by one, the guests arrive

The guests are coming through

The broken-hearted many

The open-hearted few

[Chorus]

And no one knows where the night is goin'

And no one knows where the wine is flowin'

Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh

I need you now
