Performance

作曲：Allen Toussaint

Your performance is almost over

When you're through I will take you home

To a place where the water's always fresh and cool

I will lay you down, take off your shoes

Yes, it can, guess it's bound to take your place

Has that sad, almost crying look on your face

'Cause you knew you've done your best

Now, honey leave the rest to me and I'll take care of you

As I watch you fall down to your knees

They don't know that you're praying to please

They don't see the little angel that you've backed with a star

The only one who knows exactly who you are?

they don't understand

And they cheer as you carry on your endless plan

You are weary but you must, it's the only thing you trust

As you live, you got to give

Your performance is almost over

When you're through I will take you home

Where it goes to I can see that, help your needs

I'll take care of you

'Cause you've done your best

Now, honey leave the rest to me

And I'll take care of you
