Bruce Hornsby - The Show Goes On Lyrics

Bruce Hornsby
Scenes From The Southside
The Show Goes On
B. r. hornsby

What's the long face, whats all the crying for
Didn't you expect it when you opened your door
To the man with the long coat and the long list of victims
Everybody watching knows he's the one keeping score
>from where she sits, everyone stands in judgement
People watching as the curtain falls down
See the lights do a long slow fade...

The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
Everyone watching all along
The show goes on, as the autumn's coming
And the summer's all gone
Still without you, the show goes on

Some say she's alright, some say she'll never learn
Some rush into things, some stand and wait their turn
I've been here all along standing here all this time
But you never noticed, just let the same tired flames burn
>from where she sits, everyone stands in judgement
People watching as the curtain falls down
See the lights do a long slow fade

The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
Everyone watching all along
The show goes on, as the autumn's coming
And the summer's all gone
Still without you, the show goes on

Time is passing,slowly passing you by
You better try to find it before it passes you by
As i watch you walking to another cold dawn
And you keep on walking
And they keep on talking
Talking all along

>from where she sits, everyone stands in judgement
People watching as the curtain falls down
See the lights do a long slow fade
The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
Everyone watching all along
The show goes on, as the autumn's coming
And the summer's all gone
Still without you, the show goes on

  it is amazing what the loss of life can make you feel-I read these words as my father is dying of cancer and can only want to express that I do love him-even if he did not love me back. The last time that I talked with him was in Jun 2009 when we went to the Clapton/Windwood concert in Denver. I miss him-but stubborness overcomes many people is horrible ways. God Bless you all and remember that nothing is forever-sorry. Make the best of what you have now!!!!
