The Final Curtain Lyrics - A Livetime In Eden - Edenbridge

an outcast of victorian society 

a crying jag since long-gone childhood days 

the dream to be an albatross 

with alabaster wings 

to be flying 

before the last bell rings 

the crushing arms of loneliness embracing still 

the sear and yellow leaf is drawing near 

this jaded heart escaping from the shadowplay 

what is the measure of a man ? 

and the price that we all pay 

[chorus] 

the final curtain falls 

none of the orchestra will play 

the stageplay life will hold 

the freakshow at the fair 

is there a straw in bursting dalles 

will someone care ? 

the looking glass, deceiver of reality 

the try of make-believe in who we are 

and the hiding in the mists of night will never end 

but a graceful heart prevails 

and the meaning of a friend 

[chorus] 

[bridge] 

mesmerized, hypnotized 

the audience touched to tears 

pay a visit, take a look 

so that the conscience clears 

[chorus] 

the final curtain falls 

none of the orchestra will play 

the stageplay life will hold 

the freakshow at the fair 

there is a straw in bursting dalles 

someone will care
