Curtains Rise Songtext
von The Devil Makes Three

You came from down south, words in your mouth
You had your tricks and your needs
Bounce up and stronger, lasted longer
It came between you and me

You headed straight down, nothing to hide now
Dancin′ to your master's tune
I could see in your eyes, you were ready to die
Tell me what was I supposed to do

The curtains rise
The show goes on
Wish you were here
I know that you′re gone
Curtains rise
The show goes on and on and on
Now that you're gone

World in your hands, so many plans
All of them ahead on the road
We were drinking in the parking lot, singing with the strangers
Too happy to feel the cold


When I stand on the stage
You know you're standing next to me
You′re right here by my side
Singing along, sick of my song
That I know you heard a hundred times

The curtains rise
The show goes on
Wish you were here
I know that you′re gone
Curtains rise
The show goes on and on and on
Now that you're gone

Down in deep water, Windham county′s daughter
Never get to look in your eyes
It just happened like thunder clapping
Leaving us to wonder why

Into the arms of the river, you were delivered only 24 years old
Don't tell me everything happens for a reason
That line is getting old


The curtains rise
The show goes on
Wish you were here
I know that you′re gone
Curtains rise
The show goes on and on and on
Now that you're gone
