2019 Off-Broadway
Alice by Heart the Musical - West of Words Lyrics

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

ALICE:
There's a world we knew as we
Before, before
A story entered
A tiny key we turned
West of words

ALICE & ALFRED:
Now we're falling through the ground
And falling slow
The house is tumbling down
Still, we know, we know
All that yearns
West of words, west of words

ALICE:
A rose remembered draws us onward

ALICE & ALFRED:
A world adjourned
West of words

ALICE:
There's a hatter holding tea
On madder lawn
A waltz of children
With tall and talking birds
West of words

ALICE & ALFRED:
There's a golden silver song
In the afternoon
A caterpillar poof
He's calling you
Pages turn
West of words, west of words

The lonely tortoise
Crawling onward
A moon that burns
West of words

ALICE & TABATHA:
And something whispers of something gone
A little Cheshire purr

ALICE & ALFRED:
West of words

ALICE:
West of words

Alice by Heart the Musical Lyrics

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
