The Show Goes On Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

What's the long face 

What's 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 the score 

From where she sits 

Everyone stands in judgment 

And 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 

Is that the same tired flames burn 

From where I sit 

Everyone stands in judgment 

Everybody 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, try to find it 

Before it passes you by 

As I watch you walking to another cold dawn 

And you keep on walking 

And you keep on talking 

Talking all along 

From where she sits 

Everyone stands in judgment 

Everybody watching as the curtain falls down 

Woah, 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 

Woah, the summer's all gone 

Still without you, the show goes on 

Oh, oh, oh, and the summer's all gone 

Still without you, the show goes on
