And I gave my hand to the Fates
And they took me around
They showed me the Seven Wonders
The sights and the sounds
There was a man with cinders for eyes
There was a girl with a dress made of flies
And there's a reason
There's a reason
And it's love that's tearing them down
And it's love that turns them around
Say it is so
And the ballroom is filled with the joy
Of making old friends
And jukebox girls trip the light
They wiggle and they bend
Blind Joe, he's feeling no pain
Sweet Georgia, she dreams of the rain
And there's a reason
There's a reason
And it's love that's tearing them down
And it's love that will turn them around
Say it is so
When the moon follows you where you go
And you cannot hide
And when voices of doom ring your ears
And horsemen do ride
May tomorrow the land be anew
May every bird sing unto you
That's the reason
That's the reason
That the love that's tearing you down
Is the love that will turn you around
That the love that's tearing you down
Is the love that will turn you around
Say it is so
