inishmore – the theatre of my life: act i: the sign lyrics
down on skid row,
where all the fallen people use to go,
a sign is hanging beside the street
saying something i can hardly read.
a beggar sitting next to it every day
and i am wondering what the sign could say.
i can’t get this out of my mind
i can’t resist anymore
now’s the time i want to know!
i’m walking up to the board
ancient letters invite me to the show…
[chorus]
it’s a sign on the street
that is catching my sight
it will guide me into the night,
a sign on the street
weather-beaten and decayed
a tombstone for those who have failed
paying for this play i walk up to the door,
entering a new dimension as i have never seen before.
overwhelmed by this 19th century entrance hall
a pale light of candles is shining from the wall
i walk into the theatre through a curtain,
on the other side everything seems so uncertain.
in the room hardly any light is near
and none of the audience realises that i’m here.
[chorus]
the people in this hall so strange i’d love to run
like creatures managing their lives in the shadow of the sun.
but something holds me back i can’t let go,
as i hear the magic words “welcome to the show”
