When The Crowds Are Gone Lyrics

(Oliva/O'Neill)

The lights come on

The set is down

The curtain's flown away

To all you creatures of the night

I say it's time we play

We'll show you things

That in your life

You'd never dreamed you'd know

So now before the ghosts arrive

It's welcome to the show

Minstrels, kings, explorers

Fantasies on order

Ghosts and dreams awakened

Stories long forsaken

The minstrel and the sorcerer

Are switching their disguise

The jester drinks and start to think

That he alone is wise

The governor and journalist

Exchange a Judas kiss

And now before the song is done

The plot begins to twist

Ghosts and lost explorers

Fate with all her daughters

Saints and hopeless sinners

Wise men in their winters

Know

Welcome to the show

Welcome to the show

Welcome to the show

Welcome to the show
