6+7

Tender was the night

Torrid sways the scene

Prayers sent grasping for

Forlorn, sinewy dream

Wave on horsemen

Alert the midnight guard

Finally breathing a last, dear heart

There you are

Once you came

Once you seemed to me

Surmounting catcalls

That brought you peace

Thirty years

Dirty worn soul

Be brave such lovelies

As the wind blows

Oh, blows

Tear the curtain down

Tear the curtain down

Tender swung the night

Florid was our fiending

Hymns sent clutching for

Phantasmic snarling teeth

Skip on horsemen

Desert your midnight dodge

Finally leaving for this last dread power

There you are

Once you seemed to me

Surmounting Ziegfeld and 42nd street

Through the tears cut a warm soul

Be brave, my lovely, as the final act blows

Pull the curtain closed

Pull the curtain closed

There you are

Once you came with me

Defying Ziegfeld and 42nd street

Tear the curtain down

Tear the curtain down

There you are
