One by one the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few


And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh, I need you now


And those who dance, begin to dance
Those who weap begin
And "Welcome, welcome" cries a voice
"Let all my guests come in"


And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh, I need you now


And all go stumbling through that house
in lonely secrecy
Saying "Do reveal yourself"
or "Why has thou forsaken me?"


And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh, I need you now


All at once the torches flare
The inner door flies open
One by one they enter there
In every style of passion


And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh, I need you now


And here they take their sweet repast
While house and grounds resolve
And one by one the guests are cast
Beyond the garden wall


And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh, I need you now


For those who dance, begin to dance
Those who weap begin
Those who earnestly are lost
Are lost and lost again


And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh, I need you now


One by one the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The broken-hearted many
The open-hearted few


And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh, I need you now
