I need you now
And those who dance begin to dance
And those who weep begin
And, Welcome, Welcome cries a Voice,
Let all my guests come in
chorus
And all go stumbling through that house
In lonely secrecy
Saying, Do reveal yourself
Or, Why has thou forsaken me
chorus
All at once the touches flare
The inner door flies open
One by one they enter there
In every style of passion
chorus
And here they take their sweet repast
While house and grounds dissolve
And one by one The Guests are cast
Beyond the garden walls
chorus
And those who dance begin to dance
Those who weep begin
And those who earnestly are lost
Are lost and lost again
chorus
One by one The Guest arrive
The Guest are coming through
The broken-hearted many
The open-hearted few
chorus
