The Magnetic Fields

The Magnetic Fields - Promises of Eternity lyrics

What if the show couldn't go on What if we all got jobs

and got to bed before dawn What if Old Joe had to retire

What if all the stage hands were let go or fired

that's just like what the world would be

If you fell out of love with me I can't let this happen to you

don't you let it happen to me What would our friends and family say

if they could only see If you let this happen to us

don't think you'd be setting me free Wasn't it you and I who made

promises of eternity What if the lights didn't go on What if the

velvet curtain had to be taken down What if the clowns couldn't be clowns

and all those painted smiles gave in to plaintive frowns

What if no show ever happened again No Seven, no 8 1/2, no Nine, and no "10"

All numbers and no mystery No promise of eternity...
