We were like children posing Playing at games, acting out names Guessing the parts we played Oh what a hit we made We came on next to closing Best on the bill, lovers until Love left the masquerade Fate seemed to pull the strings I turned and you were gone While from the darkened wings The music box played on Sad little serenade Song of my heart's composing I hear it still, I always will Best on the bill Charade

When we played our charade We were like children posing Playing at games, acting out names Guessing the parts we played Oh, what a hit we made We came on next to closing Best on the bill, lovers until Love left the masquerade Fate seemed to pull the strings I turned and you were gone While from the darkened wings The music box played on Sad little serenade Song of my hearts composing I hear it still, I always will Best on the bill, charade Fate seemed to pull the strings I turned and you were gone While from the darkened wings The music box played on and on Sad little serenade Song of my hearts composing I hear it still, I always will Best on the bill, charade

Whatever you've done it's all over Wherever you've been is so strange Yesterday's long gone forever Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change. Music that used to seem hollow Now seems to fit in your range Today is the now and the never Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change. It's fun to wander along a yesterday road Trying so hard to retain All of the wondrous and beautiful times that Never can happen again. So get yourself up off your past, friend There's so much to rearrange Tomorrow sits right next to never Damned if what your feelin' isn't change.

Spirit in the wood, beat the hollow cane Spirit in the wood, float away the pain Make the body ripe and alive again I Similau Keep on tellin' me now I Similau Let me tell you 'bout The Spirit in the heart makes the blood flow fast Spirit in the heart, make the muscle last Keep the hope alive when the youth go past I Similau I wanna tell you now I Similau Oh, when the women come upon the scene Drop your petals from the tree Fling them out and high up into the sky Spill the river into the sea Spirit in the wood, let the hollow cane Echo in the afterglow Waitin' for the flame to burn again I Similau I wanna hear you sing it louder I Similau Wow, wow, when the right girl comes along, hee Drop your petals from the tree Fling them out and high in the sky Spill the river in the sea Spirit in the wood, let the hollow cane Echo in the afterglow Waitin' for the flame to burn again I Similau I believe you when you tell me I Similau I don't hear you quite loud enough I Similau (spirit in the woods) Spirit in the woods tell me now, again now I Similau (Spirit in the woods, hey, I said) Spirit in the woods, come on now I Similau (Spirit in the woods, come now) Say now: "spirit in the woods" Come on, come on, spirit in the woods...
