Come From Away the Musical - Darkness and Trees Lyrics
BOB (spoken)
We can see them from the plane -
this long line of headlights coming through the darkness
ALL
Off of the airplane
FLIGHT ATTENDANT (spoken)
Ladies and gentlemen,
You can take only your carry-on items.
Any checked luggage will remain in the hold
ALL
Into the airport
DIANE (spoken)
The captain and flight attendants tell everyone
to take the blankets and pillows off the plane
ALL
Out of the windows
KEVIN (spoken)
We grab bottles of water too -
no one has any idea where they're taking us
ALL
Darkness and trees
BOB (spoken)
As we enter the airport, all those car lights are still aimed at us
HANNAH (spoken)
We're scared. They're probably scared too
FLIGHT ATTENDANT (spoken)
The people here don't know what to expect off of these planes
KEVIN (spoken)
The airport looks like something left over from the Cold War.
Kevin is like: Oh my god. We've gone back in time
BOB (spoken)
The whole procedure - the soldiers and all the formality -
it just makes me really nervous
BEVERLEY (spoken)
There's a giant map on the wall of the airport
and someone has written in red marker, "You are here."
DIANE (spoken)
Excuse me. I need to find a phone. I need to call my son
CUSTOMS OFFICER (spoken)
I'm sorry. The pay phones are out of order
OZ (spoken)
They're all lined up at the airport pay phones
So eventually we put an "Out of Order"
sign on them just so we can get people on the busses
CLAUDE (spoken)
11:48 pm. Busses and driver are now taking passengers to shelters,
not just in Gander, but also to Gambo, Appleton,
and farther communities of Lewisporte,
Norris Arm, and Glenwood
COMPANY
Our bus sits there forever
While all the others leave
Finally, this other passenger gets on
This guy from the Middle East
Someone says he got questioned
Some says he got searched
And now he's on our bus
JANICE (spoken)
I try to interview the Red Cross, the Salvation Army -
but they've got more important things to do than talk to me.
That's when I see them, the Plane People,
Through the bus windows.
The terror on their faces.
They have no idea where they're going
BEVERLEY (spoken)
They take me and my crew in a separate van
And I'm looking out the window,
trying to see where we are, but it is pitch dark.
I've flown over this area hundreds and hundreds of times.
And it is just darkness -
hardly and lights anywhere. And now here I am.
Oh my god, this is just so remote
MEN
Into the darkness
WOMEN
Stars and the moonlight
MEN
But all around us
WOMEN
Nothing but darkness
MEN
Out of the windows
WOMEN
Into the darkness
ALL
Darkness and trees
GARTH (spoken)
Every school bus we got is goin' back and forth all night.
Out to the Salvation Army Camp,
we've delivered passengers from Germany, England, and France.
And around 3 in the morning, my bus is designated to take
all these African people out there.
So we starts driving into the darkness
ALL except GARTH and MUHUMUZA
Into the darkness
MUHUMUZA (spoken)
My family and I try to see out the bus windows.
No one tells us where we are going
ALL except GARTH and MUHUMUZA
Onto a gravel road
GARTH (spoken)
Silence comes on the bus.
We get outside of Gander and you could hear a pin drop
ALL except GARTH and MUHUMUZA
And all around us
MUHUMUZA (spoken)
My wife and daughter are scared.
They ask me what is happening and I do not know
ALL except GARTH and MUHUMUZA
Darkness and trees
GARTH (spoken)
Behind me, this big man comes up to me and he says in this low voice
MUHUMUZA (spoken)
Wewe watuchukuwa wapi?
GARTH (spoken)
What's that, now?
