[length: 06:39]
[00:08.56]One by one the guests arrive
[00:13.72]The guests are coming through
[00:20.19]The open-hearted many
[00:25.53]The broken-hearted few
[00:29.75]And no one knows where the night is going
[00:35.35]And no one knows where the wine is flowing
[00:40.98]Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[00:52.73]I need you now
[01:00.22]And those who dance, begin to dance
[01:06.14]Those who weep, begin
[01:10.30]And welcome, welcome cries a voice
[01:16.28]Let all my guests come in
[01:20.67]And no one knows where the night is going
[01:26.32]And no one knows where the wine is flowing
[01:31.53]Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[01:43.32]I need you now
[01:50.91]And all go stumbling through that house
[01:55.09]In lonely secrecy
[02:01.21]Saying, “do reveal yourself”
[02:05.23]Or “why has thou forsaken me”
[02:10.57]And no one knows where the night is going
[02:16.05]And no one knows where the wine is flowing
[02:21.32]Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[02:32.72]I need you now
[02:40.29]All at once the torches flare
[02:45.49]The inner door flies open
[02:50.40]One by one they enter there
[02:55.13]In every style of passion
[02:59.66]And no one knows where the night is going
[03:04.56]And no one knows where the wine is flowing
[03:09.89]Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[03:21.12]I need you now
[03:28.18]And here they take their sweet repast
[03:32.98]While house and grounds resolve
[03:38.26]And one by one the guests are cast beyond the garden wall
[03:47.23]And no one knows where the night is going
[03:52.43]And no one knows where the wine is flowing
[03:57.74]Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[04:09.27]I need you now
[04:16.75]For those who dance, begin to dance
[04:22.10]Those who weep, begin
[04:26.58]Those who earnestly are lost
[04:30.74]Are lost, and lost again
[04:35.46]And no one knows where the night is going
[04:41.00]And no one knows where the wine is flowing
[04:45.67]Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[04:56.88]I need you now
[05:04.02]One by one the guests arrive
[05:09.08]The guests are coming through
[05:14.20]The broken-hearted many
[05:19.25]The open-hearted few
[05:23.55]And no one knows where the night is going
[05:28.75]And no one knows where the wine is flowing
[05:33.67]Oh love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[05:44.87]I need you now
