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
