The Guilty Ones

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 into 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 hours

Night won't breathe

Oh how we

Fall in silence from the sky

Then whisper some silver reply
