The Heavy Curtain

Once upon a time
An angel did what’s right
And took you far from Heaven into the night
And God knew what to do
Cause when he created you
He made the light
All night long in wandering roads
So many miles from her home
Well, I showed you I was only flesh and bone
An angel I won’t be
For long or so it seems
When we’re alone
Because when you draw that heavy curtain, baby
And you lift that long black veil, you’re not alone
I would take your tiny hand in mine
Just to help you understand that you’re not alone
Oh, oh, oh, oh baby, you’re not alone
I need your loving, baby, I’m alone
I’m a refugee, honey, I am lost without a home
I need your sanctuary, I’m all alone
You don’t have to run and hide
You don’t have to say goodbye
The night is yours and you are mine
The devil will be our alibi
He will watch our tears dry
Because when you draw that heavy curtain, baby
And you lift your long black veil, you’re not alone
I would put a ring upon your finger, baby
To make you understand that you’re not alone
If you only knew what I could do
To get you back here, baby
To help you make it through
I ain’t no marble statue, darling
But my heart has turned to stone
Because when you draw that heavy curtain
And you lift your long black veil, you’re not alone
Oh baby, you’re not alone
