"Performance" lyrics

"Performance"

Your performance is almost over
When you're through, I will take you home
To a place where the water's always fresh and cool
I will lay you down, girl take off your shoes
Now the curtain is about to take your place
There's that sad almost grin upon your face
'Cause you know you've done your best
Now darling leave rest to me
And I'll take care of you

As they watch you fall down to your knees
They don't know that you're praying to [?]
They don't see that angel at your back with the star
The only one who knows exactly what you are
You're a thing that makes music, they don't understand
And they'll tell you as you carry out your endless plan
You are weary, but you must it's the only thing you trust
As you live you got to give
Your performance is almost, almost over
When you're through, I will take you home
You're a ghost that I can see
You're that other part of me
So darling, I'll take care of you
Yes, darling, I'll take care of you
