Sonya Alone
Sonya Alone
Hard as it is
In the coming days
I watch my friend
In her strange unnatural state
Don’t let her out of my sight
She trails off
Stares at nothing
Laughs at random
And the letters come
She waits at the window
And I listen at the door
Until one day I see by the sad look on her face That there is a dreadful plan in her heart
I know you are capable of anything I know you so well my friend I know you might just run away What am I to do?
Who do I ask for help? Is it all on me? Is it all on me?
I will stand in the dark for you I will hold you back by force I will stand here right outside your door I won’t see you disgraced I will protect your name and your heart Because I miss my friend
I know you’ve forgotten me I know you so well my friend I know you might just throw yourself over But I won’t let you I won’t let you It’s all on me
48I remember this family I remember your kindness And if I never sleep again
I will stand in the dark for you I will hold you back by force I will stand here right outside your door I won’t see you disgraced I will protect your name and your heart Because I miss my friend Because I miss my friend Because I miss you, my friend
Natasha Lost
I smile, I shake, and the opera continues
And I’m quite submissive to the world I am in
My previous life is slipping away from me,
My distant past is gone, is gone.
And the rest of the night, I can’t take my eyes from him
His glittering eyes, and his tender smile…
And as I am leaving flushed and nervous,
He touches my arm and I turn around
And he’s looking at me with his glittering eyes and his tender smile…
Oh god, I am lost, how could I let him
Everything is dark, obscure and terrible
I don’t understand this, Oh God I am lost!
Back in the theatre, full of lights,
Where tenors jumped about in tinsel jackets
Young girls and old men drive home in rapture
There it all seemed simple
But now alone I am tortured
My conscious gnaws
Hard as it is
In the coming days
I watch my friend
In her strange unnatural state
Don’t let her out of my sight
She trails off
Stares at nothing
Laughs at random
And the letters come
She waits at the window
And I listen at the door
Until one day I see by the sad look on her face That there is a dreadful plan in her heart
I know you are capable of anything I know you so well my friend I know you might just run away What am I to do?
