2019 Off-Broadway
Alice by Heart the Musical - Afternoon Lyrics

"Afternoon" was written by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater, performed by Molly Gordon (Alice), Colton Ryan (Alfred) & Company.

ALICE:
A little talk could hold me for a little while
Another brush of whiskers and that distant smile
So little life remaining and the shadows won't contain me
The book of night is closing for the child

ALFRED:
I knew you were a strange girl or I thought you were
You mustered all the wonder from the room of hurt
We knew the world of summer
Like a sister, like a brother
And the melodies were sweeter left unheard

We fell down a

ALFRED & ALICE:
Hole

ALFRED:
Don't you

ALFRED & ALICE:
Remember

ALFRED:
We fell so fall

ALFRED & ALICE:
Below
And never found the center

ALICE:
Another word or

ALFRED & ALICE:
Two

ALICE:
And all the summer

ALFRED & ALICE:
Knew

ALICE:
In the song of

ALFRED & ALICE:
The afternoon
Afternoon

ALICE:
You never play September in a winter game

ALFRED:
The heart will not remember what it will not name

ALICE:
The caterpillar gazes on a world of older faces

ALFRED:
But the butterflies go floating all the same

ALFRED:
We fell down a

ALFRED & ALICE:
Hole

ALFRED:
Don't you

ALFRED & ALICE:
Remember

ALFRED:
We fell so fall

ALFRED & ALICE:
Below
We never found the center

ALICE:
And who knew what to do
With all I felt for you
In the song of the afternoon
Afternoon

SYNOPSIS
West of Words
Down the Hole
Still
Chillin' the Regrets
The Key Is
Those Long Eyes
Manage Your Flamingo
Sick to Death of Alice-ness
Brillig Braelig
Some Things Fall Away
Your Shell of Grief
Another Room in Your Head
Isn't It a Trial?
Do You Think We Think You're Alice?
I've Shrunk Enough
Afternoon
Winter Blooms
