Curtains Rise - The Devil Makes Three

You came from down south

Words in your mouth

You had your tricks and your needs

Found something 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
