| Across the cedar covered river | |
| Within the night that covers them | |
| Up the hill toward dark gates | |
| An approach so sweet yet again | |
| Proffer the sightless with wine | |
| Crank the old gramophone | |
| To go up and dance with the blind girls | |
| A secret so holy and dire | |
| To waltz in the arms of innocence | |
| Hushed delights from the choir | |
| Shadows long and playful | |
| Cast with broken old candles | |
| Gowns worn and stressed | |
| Yet graceful in tired old sandals | |
| Strike up the scratchy old music | |
| Tonight they won’t dance alone | |
| Alas, the music does fade | |
| Back to the village they creep | |
| And leave the sanatorium | |
| Its bars and rules, Just so |
| Across the cedar covered river | |
| Within the night that covers them | |
| Up the hill toward dark gates | |
| An approach so sweet yet again | |
| Proffer the sightless with wine | |
| Crank the old gramophone | |
| To go up and dance with the blind girls | |
| A secret so holy and dire | |
| To waltz in the arms of innocence | |
| Hushed delights from the choir | |
| Shadows long and playful | |
| Cast with broken old candles | |
| Gowns worn and stressed | |
| Yet graceful in tired old sandals | |
| Strike up the scratchy old music | |
| Tonight they won' t dance alone | |
| Alas, the music does fade | |
| Back to the village they creep | |
| And leave the sanatorium | |
| Its bars and rules, Just so |
| Across the cedar covered river | |
| Within the night that covers them | |
| Up the hill toward dark gates | |
| An approach so sweet yet again | |
| Proffer the sightless with wine | |
| Crank the old gramophone | |
| To go up and dance with the blind girls | |
| A secret so holy and dire | |
| To waltz in the arms of innocence | |
| Hushed delights from the choir | |
| Shadows long and playful | |
| Cast with broken old candles | |
| Gowns worn and stressed | |
| Yet graceful in tired old sandals | |
| Strike up the scratchy old music | |
| Tonight they won' t dance alone | |
| Alas, the music does fade | |
| Back to the village they creep | |
| And leave the sanatorium | |
| Its bars and rules, Just so |
