Curtains fall and whispers start
For a host of little reasons.
Never ever quite apart,
Never ever seem to notice.

Curtains rise and silence falls.
Never even stop to wonder:
'How do you know me?'

Curtains, music, cameras, lights;

(Is it true?)

Hear your laughter down the aisle now.
Did I ever realise?

(If I knew…)

But your smile would never falter.

Curtains courting something nicer,

Velvet plush around the seating —

Never could it be.
