The actors and jesters are here,

The stage is in darkness and clear,

For raising the curtain, and no-one's quite certain

Whose play it is.

How long ago, how long?

If only we had listened then,

If we'd known.. just how right,

We were going to be.

For we dreamed a lot and we schemed a lot
F
And we tried to sing of love before

The stage fell apart.
