Stephen Sondheim There Is No Other Way
[FIRST OBSERVER]
The eye sees, the thought flies
The eye tells, the thought denies
[SECOND OBSERVER]
I will prepare for your returning
Is there no other way?
[FIRST OBSERVER]
The word falls, the heart cries
The heart knows the word's disguise
[SECOND OBSERVER]
I shall expect you then at evening
Is there no other way?
[FIRST OBSERVER]
The bird sings, the wind sighs
The air stirs, the bird shies
A storm approaches
[SECOND OBSERVER]
There must be other ways...
[FIRST OBSERVER]
The leaf shakes, the wings rise
The song stops, the bird flies
The storm approaches
[SECOND OBSERVER]
I will have supper waiting
[FIRST OBSERVER]
The song stops, the bird flies
The mind stirs, the heart replies
"There is no other way."
There is no other way
[SECOND OBSERVER]
I will prepare for your return
I shall expect you then at evening
[FIRST OBSERVER]
The word stops, the heart dies
The wind counts the lost goodbyes
[SECOND OBSERVER]
There is no other way
There is no other way
