When the Curtain Calls for You Lyrics & Tabs by Jonathan Fire*Eater
When the Curtain Calls for You
guitar chords lyrics
Oh what do children do with these colours so hallow
Yes I know their will is true but their throats hurt to swallow
An orphan will his gruel in a theatre oh so cruel
What do children do
I saw some faces today, they smiled yeah they smiled at me and you
And the bay in the maple trees
Nothing in their faces looked real real real to me and you
I'm gonna keep it with me anyway
What do children do do do
What do children do do do
So when the curtain parts for you
The tiers are full of the laughter
You will come in bloom
I'll be up there somewhere
Just a-hanging from the rafters
You will come in bloom
I'll be up there somewhere
Just a-hanging from the rafters
I'll be swinging from the rafters for you
And we'll make the movie with Victorian steeples
My heart under all these people
Like a sugar cake can look so good on a china plate
It makes the world seem sweeter now
Mary's on the swings but I'm on the grass
Nothing will pass forever
So give me my coat and hand me my camera
And we'll shoot the film, with the lighting right
A beautiful hymn how I like to remember
The perfect pretender whose movie is about 'bout to begin
Another lovely hymn
And I'm ready now and the show was oh so precious
Oh so precious tonight
