Act I The Cave The Call Part Ii It Moves - Adam Guettel

Maybe hundred-twenty feet high

Sixty feet wide

Two hundred fifty feet long

Best I can picture it

Ah

Curvin' back and around

So slow so big it moves

When you try to take it all in

If you try to see it all

When you think it's gettin' closer

It's gettin' further away

Grindin' down deeper underneath

Looks wet

Every wall looks wet

Meltin' with a snow made a' cream

Shinin' ev'rywhere with tiny diamonds

Shine the lantern an' git

All the colors of the world

Comin' back

All the colors of the world

Ah

'T ain't wet though No more than a bone

Guess it jes' remember when there was a river goin' through

Centuries ago

Back when there was dinosaurs

An' when there was Adam and Eve

Things happen

An' folks forget

But the rain soaks it up

And collects it here

No tellin' what's on these walls

Layerin' on slow

Like a stone history book

With a couple of sentences 'bout me
