Where Have The Actors Gone

Tekst: Morten Lauridsen

Where have the actors gone?
The play has ended, the curtain drawn.
There's no applauding now-
No cheering crowds, no autographs, no curtain calls.
An empty stage, a silent hall.
Where have the actors gone?
I guess their 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 their lines by heart, they never missed their 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.

Waar zijn de acteurs gebleven?

Waar zijn de acteurs gebleven?
Het spel is afgelopen, het gordijn is dicht.
Er klinkt geen applaus-
Geen juichende menigten, geen handtekeningen, geen open doekjes.
Een leeg toneel, een stille zaal.
Waar zijn de acteurs gebleven?
