Lyrics Curtains Rise - The Devil Makes Three

Curtains Rise

You came from down south
Words in your mouth
You had your tricks and your needs
Found something stronger
Lasted longer
It came between you and me
You headed straight down
Nothing to hide now
Dancin' to your master’s tune
I could see in your eyes
You were ready to die
Tell me what was I supposed to do
The curtains rise
The show goes on
Wish you were here
I know that you’re gone
Curtains rise
The show goes on and on and on
Now that you’re gone
World in your hands
So many plans
All of them ahead on the road
We were drinking in the parking lot
Singing with the strangers
Too happy to feel the cold
When I stand on the stage
You know you’re standing next to me
You’re right here by my side
Singing along
Sick of my song
That I know you heard a hundred times
The curtains rise
The show goes on
Wish you were here
I know that you’re gone
Curtains rise
The show goes on and on and on
Now that you’re gone
Down in deep water
Windham County’s daughter
Never get to look in your eyes
It just happened
Like thunder clapping
Leaving us to wonder why
Into the arms of the river
You were delivered
Only 24 years old
Don’t tell me everything
Happens for a reason
That line is getting old
The curtains rise
The show goes on
Wish you were here
I know that you’re gone
Curtains rise
The show goes on and on and on
Now that you’re gone
