If Everyone Was Listening
The actors and jesters are here,The stage is in darkness and clearFor raising the curtainAnd no-one's quite certain whose play it is.How long ago, how longIf only we had listened then.If wed known just how right we were going to be.For we dreamed a lot,And we schemed a lot,And we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apart.
If everyone was listening, you know,There'd be a chance that we could save the show.Who'll be the last clownTo bring the house down?Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall.
Well, what is your costume today?Who are the props in your play?You're acting a part which you thought from the startWas an honest one.Well, how do you plead?An actor indeed!Go re-learn your lines,You don't know what you've done.The finales begun.
If everyone was listening, you know,There'd be a chance that we could save the show,Who'll be the last clownTo bring the house down?Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall.
