Last night I dreamed I walked through the maze to Lily's garden
I saw Lily and Mary standing there
Mary, standing right there in Lily's garden
I turned away I couldn't watch them
I was afraid
Why won't he say what he wants
Why must he speak in dreams
Why can't he see what he wants
To disappear it seems
He should send this haunted girl far away
Leave the house and lands to me
I watched them walk around the garden
She stood tall, grown strong and bold
Then they turned and asked my pardon
I couldn't speak, my heart grown cold
Why can't he see what he wants
He wants the past undone
Why can't he know what he wants
He's loosing battles won
To have ever loved her, ever known
How complete a loss can be
If she could disappear, he'd start again
And live like other men
He could be happy then
If she'd disappear, he could be free
Cut off from pain and loss
A bit like me
You can't marry Mr. Archibald
He's a gloomy miserable cripple who hides himself away in that horrible house
He can't believe you love, and neither can I
No one is asking for you approval, Rose
Lily, think about your children
Do you want your children to be crippled as well?
I will marry him
***************
(Part 1)
I can arrange what he wants
He's left it all to me
Now he can have what he wants
And better he will be
Set him free to wonder
Through the world
Let him go his lonely way
(Part 2)
Don't do this
Don't wed him
Don't bed him
Don't do this set him free
Through the world
Let him go his lonely way
***************
(Part 1)
Then I longed to join them
Know the peace they feel
Their journey done
Then I woke once more without them
Knew I must wonder on and
One my own
Life goes by
Cut off from pain
Cut off from pain
(Part 2)
Now that I love him
I will live for him
Live with him on and on
Do what you will and I'll never leave him
Cut off from pain
Cut off from pain
(Part 3)
I won't forgive you
Won't see you live there
Lily I swear I'll never see you
Cut off from pain
Cut off from pain
(Part 4)
Just to disappear is to be free
Cut off from pain
Cut off from pain
I'll help him disappear he'll start again
And live like other men
He could be happy then
Just to disappear is to be free
Disappear
***************
I shant be gone long
Perhaps just till the Autumn
And Mary
I'll write her a note from Paris
Now, I'll go look in on Colin
Just see that you don't wake him
In ten years have I ever awakened the boy?
There's a man who no one sees
There's a man who lives alone
There's a heart that beats in silence for
The life he's never known
