I Must Go On, Possessed, In the Silence of the Night
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
[HENRY]
I must go on with the work I'm committed to,
why would I not when my theories are true?
And I will prove, if I'm ever permitted to,
things are not wrong just because they are -
[LISA]
Henry,
listen, Henry,
I can help you,
if you let me
[HENRY]
They are pathetic, they are lying(?)
[LISA]
Let me calm the storm inside you,
Henry please
[HENRY]
I knew my fate was sealed and signed,
[LISA]
Let me put your mind at ease,
[HENRY]
Their grotesque prevarication,
[LISA]
Must I beg you on my knees?
[HENRY]
It could kill my reputation
[LISA]
What is lost you can regain,
but for now some sleep will ease the pain
Please, Henry
[HENRY]
All my life I've been possessed
by one great all-consuming quest,
and that's my driving reason to survive
[LISA]
Just take my hand in yours
[HENRY] (simultaneously)
I live to see that dream come true,
my world consists of it and you,
I have got to keep that dream alive
[LISA]
Henry, I adore you, always have done always will do,
but I too have dreams
Maybe not as grand as yours
or hard to understand as yours
but nonetheless my dreams
You and I together will be-
[HENRY]
-darling, try to see what I see-
[LISA]
-Henry please believe me,
I see everything there is to see -
[HENRY]
-then what, by god, am I supposed to do?
[LISA]
If both of us believe in you,
and I know that we do,
then for a moment leave it be,
relax and turn your thoughts to me and you
In the silence of the night
I simply need to know you're near
for all my fears to disappear
[HENRY]
In the shadows of the light
you fill my heart with such desire
you set my very soul on fire
[LISA]
I feel complete again
and life is sweet again
[HENRY]
There's a wonder to the night
so many secrets we can share
that only lovers dare to share
So darling, if you dare,
then let me take you there
