What's this song about?

1
The lights come on
2
The set is down
3
The curtain's flown away
4
To all you creatures of the night
5
I say it's time we play
6
We'll show you things
7
That in your life
8
You'd never dreamed you'd know
9
So now before the ghosts arrive
10
It's welcome to the show
11
Minstrels, kings, explorers
12
Fantasies on order
13
Ghosts and dreams awakened
14
Stories long forsakened
15
The minstrel and the sorcerer
16
Are switching their disguise
17
The jester drinks and starts to think
18
That he alone is wise
19
The governor and journalist
20
Exchange a judas kiss
21
And now before the song is done
22
The plot begins to twist
23
Ghosts and lost explorers
24
Fate with all her daughters
25
Saints and hopeless sinners
26
Wise men in their winters
27
Know
28
Welcome to the show
29
Welcome to the show
30
Welcome to the show
31
Welcome to the show
32
His life was nearly over
33
As he stood upon the beach
34
Thinking about death and the ocean
35
While still safely out of reach
36
And he held there in his hand
37
A well worn hourglass
38
And though the sand was still inside
39
Soon this too would pass
40
Then he knelt to touch the water
41
Where the waves would gently fall
42
Thinking here I touch the ocean
43
And the ocean touches all
44
For from a line of countless sailors
45
He was the last man of his kind
46
And the world had changed around him
47
He had no mountains left to climb
48
And his last name was Magellan
49
A descendant of the same
50
Or so he said in late night bars
51
Though few believed his claim
52
And so he now talked with the ocean
53
As he had often done before
54
But now the waves spoke back to him
55
As he walked along the shore
56
For eighty years plus seven
57
He had been upon this earth
58
And all of them but eight
59
He'd spent on that ocean since his birth
60
But he was not the only one
61
Who walked along this coast
62
There was a lady old and pale
63
To some nearly a ghost
64
She had once been a great beauty
65
It was rumored in some bars
66
When she'd left here many years before
67
To become a movie star
68
But every wish is not to be
69
Ahh this in time she learned
70
And when her final chance had passed
71
Back here she had returned
72
And everyday at six o'clock
73
She came to a small cafe
74
And had herself a glass of wine
75
And then she'd walk away
76
To others she was gray and old
77
Not the beauty she'd been before
78
But it did not matter what she was
79
What mattered was what he saw
80
And so for near three years now
81
He'd watch her everyday
82
And though they always were so close
83
He felt so far away
84
For he could never quite arrange
85
The words inside his mind
86
That he could say to make her stay
87
And he was running out of time
88
He could not find the words to say
89
To such a work of dreams
90
And so he watched her walk away
91
And always stayed unseen
