The Show Goes On lyrics


B. R. Hornsby

What s the long face, whats all the crying for
Didn t you expect it when you opened your door
To the man with the long coat and the long list of victims
Everybody watching knows he s the one keeping score
>From where she sits, everyone stands in judgement
People watching as the curtain falls down
See the lights do a long slow fade...

The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
Everyone watching all along
The show goes on, as the autumn s coming
and the summer s all gone
Still without you, the show goes on

Some say she s alright, some say she ll never learn
Some rush into things, some stand and wait their turn
I ve been here all along standing here all this time
But you never noticed, just let the same tired flames burn
>From where she sits, everyone stands in judgement
People watching as the curtain falls down
See the lights do a long slow fade

The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
Everyone watching all along
The show goes on, as the autumn s coming
and the summer s all gone
Still without you, the show goes on

Time is passing,slowly passing you by
You better try to find it before it passes you by
As I watch you walking to another cold dawn
And you keep on walking
And they keep on talking
Talking all along

>From where she sits, everyone stands in judgement
People watching as the curtain falls down
See the lights do a long slow fade
The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
Everyone watching all along
The show goes on, as the autumn s coming
and the summer s all gone
Still without you, the show goes on
