The Party

THE PARTY
music: Eris O’Brien / lyrics: John Pullicino
they’re having a party but I didn’t go
a cloud in the heaven a rose in the snow
they’re having a party for someone I know
a cloud in the heaven a rose in the snow
when we fell in love the rose killed the weed
someone was singing “Love is all you need”
when we fell in love the heavens agreed
someone was singing “Love is all you need”
I tried my best to work it out
I know you you did the same
but rivers need the falling rain
and fire needs the burning flame
I’ve been to the party but I didn’t stay
the actors go home at the end of the play
the hero and heroine have nothing to say
the actors go home at the end of the play
they’re having a party they’re calling it life
touching their hearts with the point of a knife
playing the parts of the husband and wife
touching their hearts with the point of a knife
I’ll try my best to work it out
I know you you’ll do the same
‘cause rivers need the falling rain
like fire needs the burning flame
