The Guests Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
One by one the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted fewAnd 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 nowAnd those who dance, begin to dance
Those who weep begin
And "Welcome, welcome" cries a voice
Let all my guests come inAnd 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 nowAnd 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
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 nowAll at once the torches flare
The inner door flies open
One by one they enter there
In every style of passionAnd 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 nowAnd here they take their sweet repast
While house and grounds dissolve
And one by one the guests are cast
Beyond the garden wallAnd 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 nowThose who dance, begin to dance
Those who weep begin
Those who earnestly are lost
Are lost and lost againAnd 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 nowOne by one the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The broken-hearted many
The open-hearted fewAnd 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
