(::FATHER::)
Where have I been?
How did we change,
Caught in this strange
New music?
Say,
Was I away too long?
(::MOTHER::)
Just like that tune,
Simple and clear,
I've come to hear
New music.
(::FATHER::)
New music.
Why,
Why can't you hear the song?
(::YOUNGER BROTHER::)
His fingers stoke those keys,
And every note says "Please",
And every chord says "Turn my way."
(::MOTHER, FATHER::)
I thought I knew
What love was but these lovers play...
(::MOTHER, FATHER, YOUNGER BROTHER::)
New music!
Haunting me,
And somehow taunting me-
My love was never half as true.
(::FATHER::)
And I as myself,
Why can't I sing it too?
(::WORKERS, NEIGHBORS::)
His fingers stoke those keys,
And every note says "Please",
And every chord says "Turn my way."
(::WORKERS, NEIGHBORS, FAMILY::)
I thought I knew
What love was
but these lovers play
New music!
(::ALL::)
Haunting me,
And somehow taunting me-
My love was
Never half as true.
(::COALHOUSE::)
Sarah, my life has changed.
Sarah, you've got to see.
Sarah, we got a son!
Sarah, come down to me...
(::SARAH::)
You and your music
Singing deep in me,
Making nice to me,
Saying something so new-
(::COALHOUSE::)
New
(::SARAH::)
Changing everything,
Meaning everything,
(::COALHOUSE::)
Music
(::SARAH::)
Calling my heart to you...
(::COALHOUSE::)
All for you, girl.
You, Sarah.
(::SARAH::)
Play that melody,
Your sweet melody,
Calling my heart to you.
(::COALHOUSE::)
You.
(::ALL (--except Coalhouse And Sarah--)::)
Just like that tune,
Simple and clear,
I've come to hear
New music-
Breaking my heart,
Op'ning a door,
Chamging the world!
New music!
I'll
Hear it forevermore!
