And The Band Played On
Did you hear Gabriel blow his horn?
Then what sent those blackbirds on the wing?
Into this house we were born to live
Like an arrow shot over the mountain
Like a bottle tossed in the sea
I have journeyed, I have traveled, now home calls me
Let's all gather 'round the grand piano
Let's all raise our glasses in the air
Give a cheer to the jolly good fellows and everyone who's cared
Who will mend this wagon wheel
To put this show on the road?
The music sounds just like it feels
Like an arrow shot over the mountain
Like a bottle tossed in the sea
I have journeyed, I have traveled, now home calls me
Let's all gather 'round the grand piano
Let's all raise our glasses in the air
Give a cheer to the jolly good fellows and everyone who's cared
And the band played on through the storm
Through the wicked, wicked rain
And the band played on in golden harmony
What straw will break this camel's back?
Will we grow to love the load?
Can't wait to be what time reveals
Let's all gather 'round the grand piano
Let's all raise our glasses in the air
Give a cheer to the jolly good fellows, everyone who's cared
Well, everyone who's cared
Oh, everyone who's cared, oh
