Where Have the Actors Gone
Where have the actors gone
The play has ended
The curtain dropped
There's no applauding now
No cheering crowd
No autographs
No curtain calls, an empty stage
The silent hall
Where have the actors gone
I guess the show just had played too long
They took the marquee down and packed their bags and said goodbye
And took their props and walked away
Not knowing why
Where have the actors gone
They knew the lights by heart
They never missed a cue
Where have the actors gone
They just rewrote their parts to play for someone fresh and new
They played their parts too well
They found the last act just wouldn't sell
The play was much too real
To mask the tears with cardboard smiles
The mixed reviews not worth their while
To carry on
They brought the curtain down
Where have the actors gone
They just rewrote their parts to play for someone fresh and new
They played their parts too well
They found the last act just wouldn't sell
The play was much too real
To mask the tears with cardboard smiles
The mixed reviews not worth their while
To carry on
They brought the curtain down
The play has ended
The curtain dropped
There's no applauding now
No cheering crowd
No autographs
No curtain calls, an empty stage
The silent hall
Where have the actors gone
I guess the show just had played too long
They took the marquee down and packed their bags and said goodbye
And took their props and walked away
Not knowing why
Where have the actors gone
They knew the lights by heart
They never missed a cue
Where have the actors gone
They just rewrote their parts to play for someone fresh and new
They played their parts too well
They found the last act just wouldn't sell
The play was much too real
To mask the tears with cardboard smiles
The mixed reviews not worth their while
To carry on
They brought the curtain down
Where have the actors gone
They just rewrote their parts to play for someone fresh and new
They played their parts too well
They found the last act just wouldn't sell
The play was much too real
To mask the tears with cardboard smiles
The mixed reviews not worth their while
To carry on
They brought the curtain down
