The Guests (Tour of 1979)

Lyrics

One by one the guests arrive The guests are coming through The open-hearted many The broken-hearted few Oh, but no one knows Where the night is going No one knows Why the wine is flowing Ah, 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 "Welcome, welcome" cries a voice "Let all my guests come in" Oh, but no one knows Where the night is going No one knows Why the wine is flowing Ah, love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh I need you now And all go stumbling through that house In utmost urgency Saying, "Do reveal yourself Or why hast thou forsaken me?" But no one knows Where the night is going No one knows Why the wine is flowing Ah, 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 But no one knows Where the night is going No one knows Why the wine is flowing Ah, 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 again Ah, but no one knows Where the night is going No one knows Why the wine is flowing Ah, 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 going No one knows why the wine is flowing Ah, love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, oh I need you now [spoken] Sharon Robinson and Jennifer Warnes
