Intro: Em' Em' D' One by one, The Guests arrive C D' The Guests are coming through Em' D' The open-hearted many C E The broken-hearted few
A D And no one knows where the night is going A D And no one knows why the wine is flowing C Dm/c C Dm/c C Dm/c C Dm/c C O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you E A Oh... I need you now
And those who dance begin to dance And those who weep 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 O 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 hast thou forsaken me
And no one knows where the night is going And no one knows why the wine is flowing O 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 O 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 dissolve And one by one The Guests are cast Beyond the garden walls
And no one knows where the night is going And no one knows why the wine is flowing O 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 weep begin And 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 O 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 O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you Oh... I need you now
