[THE DOWAGER EMPRESS]
These strangers come calling
Soon enough they're gone
The twilight is falling
Lamps will soon go on
And where does summer go?
I will never know
Summer used to last endlessly
Children all in white
Running down the sand to me...
To me...

These strangers sent packing
What do they expect?
So grasping, so lacking
Why not be direct?
The beating of my heart
After they depart
Lying wide awake through the night
Will you ever come
Running home to me? You might...
You might...

I've believed so long, I have dared to hope
That the door might open and that you might enter
Playing hide and seek
Kisses on my cheek
The lamps begin to glow
In my heart, I know
You're a lie that I've waited for
Tell them all to go!
Tell them all - no more!
Tell them I close the door
