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, take off your shoes

Yes, 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 honey leave the 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 please
They don´t see the little angel at your back with a star
The only one who knows exactly who you are

You´re a thing that makes music they don´t understand
And they cheer as you carry out your endless plan
You are weary but you must, it´s the only thing you trust
As you live you´ve got to give

Your performance is almost over
When you´re through I will take you home
You´re a ghost that I can see, you´re the other part of me
Now honey I will take care of you

‘Cause you know you´ve done your best
Now honey leave the rest to me and I´ll take care of you
