Final Bow

When the crowds gone away and up And left you feel a block on your chest The curtain sinks and light dims through Painted backdrops colors fade As the orchestra packs their bows away You look into a hall of mirrors of other days Silver screens and wide-eyed dreams Spinning celluloid that sings Hiding through the eclipse of her lips Venus sleeps her heart unseen When you walk through the hall you See a girl holding someone in her arms And you wonder what's its name You see winding roads of dirt and Many different hearts that you hold But the broken bridge is the same Silver screens and wide-eyed dreams Spinning celluloid that sings Hiding through the eclipse of her lips Venus sleeps her heart unseen You gave your heart and your love to your stage It'll give you coins but it can't love you back Processions of roses arrive for you And sapphire feathers bloom The brass lock gives away And you're lost into twilight The curtain closes and we fade to black And though you're locked away I can still find your face on a print Through the threshold we can hear your song play Silver screens and wide-eyed dreams Spinning celluloid that sings Hiding through the eclipse of her lips Venus goes to sleep
