WENDLA (F) - both songs must be prepared
“The Guilty Ones” SOMETHING’S STARTED CRAZY- SWEET AND UNKNOWN. SOMETHING YOU KEEP IN A BOX ON THE STREET. NOW IT’S LONGING FOR A HOME (AND WHO CAN SAY WHAT DREAMS ARE…?) WAKE ME IN TIME TO BE LONELY AND SAD. (AND WHO CAN SAY WHAT WE ARE…?) THIS IS THE SEASON FOR DREAMING… AND NOW OUR BODIES ARE THE GUILTY ONES, WHO TOUCH, AND COLOR THE HOURS; NIGHT WON’T BREATHE OH HOW WE FALL IN SILENCE FROM THE SKY, AND WHISPER SOME SILVER REPLY… “Mama Who Bore Me – Reprise” (highest notes of the trio) MAMA WHO BORE ME. MAMA WHO GAVE ME NO WAY TO HANDLE THINGS. WHO MADE ME SO SAD. MAMA, THE WEEPING. MAMA, THE ANGELS. NO SLEEP IN HEAVEN, OR BETHLEHEM. ILSE (F) - both songs must be prepared “Blue Wind” SPRING AND SUMMER, EV’RY OTHER DAY. BLUE WIND GETS SO SAD. BLOWIN’ THROUGH THE THICK CORN, THROUGH THE BALES OF HAY, THROUGH THE OPEN BOOKS ON THE GRASS… SPRING AND SUMMER… SURE, WHEN IT’S AUTUMN, WIND ALWAYS WANTS TO CREEP UP AND HAUNT YOU. WHISTLIN’, IT’S GOT YOU, WITH ITS HEARTACHE, WITH ITS SORROW. WINTER WIND SINGS, AND IT CRIES… “Mama Who Bore Me – Reprise” (highest notes of the trio) MAMA WHO BORE ME. MAMA WHO GAVE ME NO WAY TO HANDLE THINGS. WHO MADE ME SO SAD. MAMA, THE WEEPING. MAMA, THE ANGELS. NO SLEEP IN HEAVEN, OR BETHLEHEM. MARTHA (F) "The Dark I Know Well" There's a part I can't tell About the dark I know well You say, "Time for bed now, child" Mom just smiles that smile Just like she never saw me Just like she never saw me So I leave wantin' just to hide Knowin' deep inside You are comin' to me You are comin' to me You say all you want is just to kiss goodnight Then you hold me and you whisper, "Child the Lord won't mind It's just you and me Child you're a beauty" "God, it's good the lovin', ain't it good tonight You ain't seen nothin' yet, gonna treat you right It's just you and me Child you're a beauty |
MELCHIOR (M) - both songs must be prepared
“Mirror-Blue Night” (end of song) BUT THERE’S NOWHERE TO HIDE, FROM THE GHOST IN MY MIND, IT’S COLD IN THESE BONES- OF A MAN AND A CHILD. AND THERE’S NO ONE WHO KNOWS, AND THERE’S NOWHERE TO GO. THERE’S NO ONE TO SEE WHO CAN SEE TO MY SOUL… “All That’s Known” (end of song) ON I GO, TO WONDER AND TO LEARNING- NAME THE STARS AND KNOW THEIR DARK RETURNING. I’M CALLING, TO KNOW THE WORLD’S TRUE YEARNING- THE HUNGER THAT A CHILD FEELS FOR EV’RYTHING THEY’RE SHOWN. YOU WATCH ME- JUST WATCH ME- I’M CALLING, AND ONE DAY ALL WILL KNOW… YOU WATCH ME- JUST WATCH ME- I’M CALLING, I’M CALLING, AND ONE DAY ALL WILL KNOW… MORITZ (M) - both songs must be prepared “Don’t Do Sadness” (end of song) ‘CAUSE YOU KNOW, I DON’T DO SADNESS- NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT. JUST DON’T NEED IT IN MY LIFE- DON’T WANT ANY PART OF IT. I DON’T DO SADNESS. HEY, I’VE DONE MY TIME. LOOKIN’ BACK ON IT ALL, MAN, IT BLOWS MY MIND. I DON’T DO SADNESS. SO BEEN THERE. DON’T DO SADNESS. JUST DON’T CARE. “And Then There Were None” (middle of song) UH HUH… UH HUH… UH HUH… WELL, FINE. NOT LIKE IT’S EVEN WORTH THE TIME. BUT STILL, YOU KNOW, YOU WANTED MORE. (OKAY, SO NOTHINGS CHANGED.) HEARD THAT BEFORE. YOU WANNA LAUGH. IT’S TOO ABSURD. YOU START TO ASK. CAN’T HEAR A WORD. (YOU’RE GONNA CRASH AND BURN.) RIGHT, TELL ME MORE. |

"THE WORD OF YOUR BODY"
Wendla & Melchior (end of song) BOTH Haven’t you heard the word of my wanting? O, I’m gonna be wounded O, I’m gonna be your wound O, I’m gonna bruise you O, you’re gonna be my bruise Just too unreal, all this? WENDLA Watching his world slip through my fist MELCHIOR Playing with her in your fantasies BOTH Haven’t you heard the word? How I want you? O, I’m gonna be wounded O, I’m gonna be your wound O, I’m gonna bruise you O, you’re gonna be my bruise |
"THOSE YOU'VE KNOWN"
Wendla & Moritz WENDLA Those you’ve pained May carry that still with them All the same They whisper:All forgiven.’ Still your heart says The shadows bring the starlight And everything you’ve ever been is still there in the dark night WENDLA (Sung in Counterpart) When the northern wind blows The sorrows your heart holds There are those who still know They’re still home We’re still home MORITZ (Sung In Counterpart) Though you know You’ve left them far behind You walk on by yourself, and not with them Still you know They will fill your heart and mind When they say there’s a way through this BOTH Those you’ve known And lost, still walk behind you All alone Their song still seems to find you They call you As if you knew their longing They whistle through the lonely wind, the long blue shadows falling |
