Your performance is almost over
'Cause you know you've done your best
When you're through I will take you home
Now honey I will take care of you
You are weary but you must, it's the only thing you trust
You're a thing that makes music they don't understand
To a place where the water's always fresh and cool
They don't see the little angel at your back with a star
And they cheer as you carry out your endless plan
They don't know that you're praying to please
The only one who knows exactly who you are
You're a ghost that I can see, you're the other part of me
Now honey leave the rest to me and I'll take care of you
There's that sad, almost grin upon your face
Yes, the curtain is about to take your place
As they watch you fall down to your knees
'Cause you know you've done your best
As you live you've got to give
I will lay you down, take off your shoes
