Stephen Sondheim Johanna Reprise
ANTHONY:
I feel you, Johanna,
I feel you,
Do they think that walls can hide you?
Even now, I'm at your window,
I am in the dark beside you,
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair,
Johanna.
SWEENEY:
And are you beautiful, and pale,
With yellow hair, like her?
I'd want you beautiful and pale,
The way I dreamed you were,
Johanna,
ANTHONY:
I'll steal you, Johanna,
SWEENEY:
Goodbye, Johanna,
You're gone, and yet you're mine,
I'm fine, Johanna, I'm fine,
LUCY:
Smoke! Smoke!
Sign of the devil, sign of the devil,
Set it on fire,
Witch! Witch!
Smell it, sir, an evil smell,
Every night at the Vespers bell,
Smoke that comes from the mouth of hell,
Set it on fire,
Mischief, mischief, mischief,
SWEENEY:
And if I never hear your voice,
My turtle dove, my dear,
I still have reason to rejoice,
The way your head is clear,
Johanna,
ANTHONY:
I feel you,
SWEENEY:
And in the darkness when I'm blind,
With what I can't forget,
ANTHONY:
Johanna
SWEENEY:
It's always morning in my mind,
My little lamb, my pet,
Johanna,
You stay Johanna,
The way I've dreamed you were,
Oh, look Johanna,
A star,
ANTHONY:
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair,
SWEENEY:
A shooting star,
LUCY:
There! There!
Somebody, somebody,
Look up there,
Didn't I tell you?
Smell that air,
Set it on fire,
Quick, sir!
Run and tell,
Go on a mole,
Little ratchet spell,
There it is, there it is,
The ungodly smell,
Tell it to the beadle,
The police as well,
Tell 'em, tell 'em,
Help, fiend!
Set it on fire, set it on fire,
Mischief, mischief,
SWEENEY:
And though I'll think of you,
I guess, until the day, I die,
I think I'll miss you, less and less,
As everyday goes by,
Johanna,
And you'd be beautiful and pale,
And look too much like her,
If only angels could prevail,
We'd be the way we were,
Johanna,
ANTHONY:
I feel you, Johanna,
SWEENEY:
Wake up, Johanna,
Unnerve the bright red day,
We learn, Johanna, to say,
Goodbye,
ANTHONY:
I'll steal you.
