And I gave my hand to the Fates   And they took me around   They showed me the Seven Wonders   The sights and the sounds      There was a man with cinders for eyes   There was a girl with a dress made of flies   And there's a reason   There's a reason      And it's love that's tearing them down   And it's love that turns them around   Say it is so      And the ballroom is filled with the joy   Of making old friends   And jukebox girls trip the light   They wiggle and they bend      Blind Joe, he's feeling no pain   Sweet Georgia, she dreams of the rain   And there's a reason   There's a reason      And it's love that's tearing them down   And it's love that will turn them around   Say it is so      When the moon follows you where you go   And you cannot hide   And when voices of doom ring your ears   And horsemen do ride      May tomorrow the land be anew   May every bird sing unto you   That's the reason   That's the reason      That the love that's tearing you down   Is the love that will turn you around   That the love that's tearing you down   Is the love that will turn you around      Say it is so
