The Show Goes On Lyrics

What's the long face, what's all the crying for
Didn't you expect it since 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
Everybody 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 all right, some say she'll never learn
Some rush into things, some stand and wait their turn
I've been here all along, and I've been standing here all this time
But you never, never noticed, let the same tired flames burn

From where she sits everyone stands in judgment
Everybody 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, 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 about you
They're talking all along

From where she sits everyone stands in judgment
Everybody 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

And the summer's all gone
Still without you, the show goes on
And the summer's all gone
Still without you, the show goes on

The show goes on
