Passion - Second Letter Lyrics |
1994 Broadway Passion the Musical - Second Letter Lyrics
CLARA Giorgio... I, too, have cried inside.
BOTH You must not be ashamed of your tears.
CLARA I love you for your tears.
BOTH Your absence only makes my love grow stronger. And when I cannot bear it any longer -
(We hear another scream come from upstairs. Music stops as Giorgio rises, concerned; the others continue to eat, unfazed.)
COLONEL Don't be alarmed. It's my cousin. I am so accustomed to her outbursts that I forget how unsettling they must be to a newcomer. My apologies for not warning you.
DOCTOR She's not been having a good day. And a doctor is always expected to help hurt, Even when there is nothing one can possibly do.
TORASSO More lamb please.
DOCTOR (to Lombardi) I've noticed you finally managed to track down some tarragon.
LOMBARDI Yes, I'm glad you approved... (Another scream; the Colonel looks to the Doctor)
COLONEL Doctor.
DOCTOR Excuse me. (He wearily rises and crosses to the stairs, which he climbs.)
BARRI Sergeant, are there any more carrots?
LOMBARDI Seconds for you, Lieutenant? Can I take that as a compliment?
BARRI No, Sergeant, they're for my horses. (Laughter. Torasso gives Giorgio a slap on the back. Giorgio is not amused.)
COLONEL In time, Captain Bacchetti, you too will get used to life amongst us.
(Snare drums; everyone gets up. Clara enters while the soldiers formate to a march. Clara sings from another letter, accompanied chiefly by drums and sporadic bugle calls)
