When all of the house lights are taken down And all of the people there That traveled for hundreds of miles around To hear their songs fill the air Their beauty, the quiet and heaviness The shadows they recall Don't mean a thing at all A song would begin with a feeling That's had when the melody came The words are a**embled then written Its meaning is somewhat relayed On tip toes and reeling through misty eyes The writing's on the wall Don't mean a thing at all Before the night gets underway Your mind could change What once was true that very day Is now not the same And there's no way she could know You couldn't tell her so The only way to live it was by Giving it a go No doubt there'll be something for everyone When turning every stone She can't leave well enough alone
