You came from down south Words in your mouth You had your tricks in your [?] Bounce up and stronger Lasted longer It came between you and me You headed straight down Nothing to hide now Dance until you master this 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 [?] 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
