The Secret Garden the Musical - Round-Shouldered Man Lyrics

MARY: (spoken)
Then close your eyes,
and I will do what my Ayah used to do in India.
I will pat your hand and stroke it
and sing something quite low.

COLIN: (spoken)
And I have such terrible dreams.

MARY: (spoken)
I have bad dreams too.
Last night I dreamed about my father.
Only he had this lump on his back,
like your father. And then,
when he turned around, he was your father.

COLIN:
Some nights I dream
That a round-shouldered man
Comes in my room
On a beam of moonlight.
He never says what he wants,
He just sits with a book in his hands.

And then I dream
That the round-shouldered man
Takes me off on a ride
Through the moors by moonlight.
He never says, where we'll go
We just ride 'cross the hills till dawn.

And some night I'm going to ask him,
Is the night sky black or blue?
I know the answer's in his book
Of all that's good and true.

MARY: (spoken)
It's no wonder you have bad dreams.
The shadows in this room are so strange.

COLIN:
And once I dreamed
That the round-shouldered man
Took my hand and we walked
To a secret garden.
I heard my father speak my name
As we sat in the crook of a broken tree.

COLIN & MARY:
And some night I'm and some night I
Going to ask him think you
Should ask him
How the old moon turns to new

COLIN:
I know the answer's in his book
Of all that's good and true

COLIN & MARY:
I'm sure the answer's in his book
Of all that's good and true.
