6+7

[Verse One]

Tender was the night
Torrid sways the scene
Prayers sent grasping for
Forlorn, sinewy dream
Wave on horsemen
Alert the midnight guard
Finally breathing a last, dear heart
There you are!

[Verse Two]

Once, you came
Once, you seemed to me
Surmounting catcalls
That brought you peace
Thirty years
Dirty worn soul
Be brave, such lovelies
As the wind blows, Oh
Tear the curtain down
Tear the curtain down

[Verse Three]

Tender swung the night
Florid was our fiending
Hymns sent clutching for
Phantasmic, snarling teeth
Skip on horsemen
Desert your midnight dodge
Finally leaving for this last, dread power
There you are
Once, you seemed to me
Surmounting Ziegfeld and 42nd street
Through the tears cut a warm soul
Be brave, my lovely as the final act blows
Pull the curtain closed
Pull the curtain closed

There you are
Once you came with me
Defying Ziegfeld and 42nd street
Tear the curtain down
Tear the curtain down
There you are!
