Lyrics

One by one, the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few
And no one knows where the night is goin'
And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh
I need you now
And those who dance, begin to dance
Those who weep, begin
And “welcome, welcome” cries a voice
“Let all my guests come in”
And no one knows where the night is goin'
And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh
I need you now
And all goes stumbling through that house
In lonely secrecy
Saying "Do reveal yourself
Or why has thou forsaken me"
And no one knows where the night is goin'
And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh
I need you now
All at once the torches flare
The inner door flies open
One by one they enter there
In every style of passion
And no one knows where the night is goin'
And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh
I need you now
And here they take their sweet repast
While house and grounds dissolve
And one by one the guests are cast
Beyond the garden wall
And no one knows where the night is goin'
And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh
I need you now
Those who dance, begin to dance
Those who weep, begin
Those who earnestly are lost
Are lost, and lost begin
And no one knows where the night is goin'
And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh
I need you now
One by one, the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The broken-hearted many
The open-hearted few
And no one knows where the night is goin'
And no one knows where the wine is flowin'
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh
I need you now
