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 going
  And no one knows why the wine is flowing
  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 going ...
  
  And all go 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 going ...
  
  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 going ...
  
  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 going ...
  
  Those who dance, begin to dance
  Those who weep begin
  Those who earnestly are lost
  Are lost and lost again
  
  And no one knows where the night is going ...
  
  One by the guests arrive
  The guests are coming through
  The broken-hearted many
  The open-hearted few
  
  And no one knows where the night is going ...
