作词：L Simon/M Norman

作曲：L Simon/M Norman/Lucy Simon

Last night I dreamed I walked through the maze to Lily's garden

and saw Lily and Mary standing there Mary standing right there

in Lily's garden I turned away I couldn't watch I was afraid

NEVILLE:

Why won't he say what he wants

Why must he speak in dreams

Why can't he see what he wants

To disappear it seems

He should send this haunted girl far away

Leave the house and lands to me

ARCHIBALD:

I watched them walk around the garden

She stood tall grown strong and bold

Then they turned and asked my pardon

I couldn't speak my heart grown cold

NEVILLE:

Why can't he see what he wants

He wants the past undone

Why can't he know what he wants

He's losing battles won

To have ever loved her

Never known how complete a loss can be

If she could disappear he'd start again

And live like other men he could be happy then

If she'd disappear he could be free

Cut off from pain and loss

A bit like me

ROSE:

You can't marry this Archibald He's a gloomy

miserable cripple who hides himself away in

that horrible house He can't believe you love

him and neither can I

LILY:

No one is asking for your approval Rose

ROSE:

Lily if you don't care what happens to you think

about your children Do you want your children to

be crippled as well

LILY:

I will marry him

NEVILLE: ROSE:

I can arrange what he wants Don't do this

He's left it all to me Don't wed him

Now he can have what he wants Don't bed him

Unfetted he will be Don't do this

Set him free to wander Set him free

Through the world

Let him go

His lonely ways

ARCHIBALD: LILY:

Then I longed to join them Now that

Know the peace they feel I love him

Their journey done I will live

Then I woke once more For him

Without them Live just to love him

Knew I must wander on and on

ROSE

I I won't forgive you

Go Won't see you live there

Life to Lily I swear

Find I'll never see you

NEVILLE:

Just to disappear

Is to be free

LILY:

Do what you will then

I'll never leave him

NEVILLE:

Cut off from

Pain-cut off from

Pain

I'll help him disappear

He'll start again

ROSE

Cut off from pain

Cut off from pain

Now you must leave him LILY:

Yes you must leave him How can I leave him

I'll never leave him Nor e'er deceive him

Yes you must leave him Rose

Lily promise I promised

Yes you must leave him Never leave him

You must believe

You must believe

NEVILLE:

Disappear

LILY: ROSE

I will wed and bear him children Lily think about the children

He will love me love the children Lily think about the children

There's A Man (Transition)

There's a man who no one sees

There's a man who lives alone

There's a heart that beats in silence for

The life he's never known
