WENDLA
Something’s started crazy –
Sweet and unknown
Something you keep
In a box on the street –
Now it’s longing for a home
ALL
And who can say what dreams are?
WENDLA
Wake me in time to be lonely and sad
ALL
And who can say what we are?
WENDLA
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
MELCHIOR
Pulse is gone and racing –
All fits and starts
Window by window
You try and look into
This brave new you that you are
ALL
And who can say what dreams are?
MELCHIOR & WENDLA
Wake me in time to be out in the cold
ALL
And who can say what we are?
MELCHIOR & WENDLA
This is the reason for dreaming
ALL
And now our bodies are the guilty ones –
Our touch
Will fill every hour
Huge and dark
Oh our hearts
Will murmur the blues from on high
Then whisper some silver reply
And now our bodies are the guilty ones –
Our touch
Will color the hours
Night won’t breathe
Oh how we
Fall in silence from the sky
Then whisper some silver reply
Now are bodies are the guilty ones
