Quartet There's a Man - Mandy Patinkin/Rebecca Luker.mp3

[00:00.19]ARCHIBALD:
[00:00.66]Last night I dreamed I walked through the maze to Lily's garden,
[00:04.77]and saw Lily and Mary standing there. Mary standing right there
[00:10.65]in Lily's garden. I turned away...I couldn't watch...I was afraid.
[00:16.97]NEVILLE:
[00:17.21]Why won't he say what he wants? 
[00:18.61]Why must he speak in dreams? 
[00:20.51]Why can't he see what he wants? 
[00:22.35]To disappear, it seems!
[00:24.36]He should send this haunted girl far away,
[00:28.00]Leave the house and lands to me!
[00:30.46]ARCHIBALD:
[00:30.71]I watched them walk around the garden,
[00:36.21]She stood tall, grown strong and bold.
[00:40.00]Then they turned and asked my pardon,
[00:43.56]I couldn't speak, my heart grown cold.
[00:47.62]NEVILLE:
[00:47.97]Why can't he see what he wants? 
[00:49.26]He wants the past undone!
[00:51.10]Why can't he know what he wants?
[00:52.91]He's losing battles won
[00:54.77]To have ever loved her, 
[00:56.90]Never known how complete a loss can be.
[01:02.10]If she could disappear, he'd start again.
[01:06.02]And live like other men, he could be happy then.
[01:10.34]If she'd disappear, he could be free,
[01:14.21]Cut off from pain and loss,
[01:16.72]A bit like me.
[01:18.44]ROSE:
[01:18.65]You can't marry this Archibald! He's a gloomy,
[01:21.90]miserable cripple who hides himself away in 
[01:23.61]that horrible house! He can't believe you love 
[01:25.45]him and neither can I!
[01:26.61]LILY:
[01:26.83]No one is asking for your approval, Rose!
[01:28.68]ROSE:
[01:28.93]Lily, if you don't care what happens to you, think 
[01:32.01]about your children. Do you want your children to
[01:33.36]be crippled as well?
[01:34.13]LILY:
[01:34.43]I will marry him!
[01:35.43]NEVILLE: ROSE:
[01:36.27]I can arrange what he wants, Don't do this!
[01:38.65]He's left it all to me. Don't wed him!
[01:40.39]Now he can have what he wants, Don't bed him!
[01:41.60]Unfetted he will be, Don't do this, 
[01:43.64]Set him free to wander Set him free 
[01:46.13]Through the world 
[01:46.92]Let him go
[01:48.68]His lonely ways!
[01:51.13]ARCHIBALD: LILY:
[01:51.64]Then I longed to join them Now that
[01:55.42]Know the peace they feel I love him
[01:58.10]Their journey done. I will live
[01:59.13]Then I woke once more For him
[02:02.63]Without them, Live just to love him
[02:04.06]Knew I must wander on and on
[02:08.47]ROSE
[02:08.75]I I won't forgive you!
[02:09.68]Go Won't see you live there!!
[02:11.47]Life to Lily, I swear 
[02:12.91]Find! I'll never see you!!
[02:14.95]NEVILLE:
[02:15.17]Just to disappear
[02:16.52]Is to be free!
[02:17.83]LILY:
[02:18.10]Do what you will, then,
[02:19.18]I'll never leave him!
[02:20.31]NEVILLE:
[02:20.77]Cut off from 
[02:21.61]Pain-cut off from
[02:22.74]Pain
[02:24.20]I'll help him disappear!
[02:24.95]He'll start again!
[02:26.35]ROSE
[02:28.31]Cut off from pain!
[02:28.84]Cut off from pain! 
[02:29.64]Now you must leave him! LILY:
[02:30.87]Yes, you must leave him! How can I leave him! 
[02:32.48]I'll never leave him, Nor e'er deceive him!
[02:35.14]Yes, you must leave him! Rose, 
[02:37.38]Lily, promise! I promised! 
[02:39.13]Yes, you must leave him, Never leave him,
[02:39.80]You must believe!

[02:46.19]He will love me, love the children. Lily, think about the children.
[02:47.88]There's A Man (Transition)
[03:15.78]There's a man who no one sees,
[03:18.79]There's a man who lives alone.
[03:22.67]There's a heart that beats in silence for 
[03:26.43]The life he's never known.
