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...
