Dave Malloy, Josh Groban - The Great Comet of 1812 lyrics

Where to now? Where can I go now?
Not to the Club not to pay calls

Mankind seems so pitiful so poor
Compared to that softened, grateful
Last glance she gave me through her tears

It was clear and cold
Above the dirty streets
Above the black roofs
Stretched the dark starry sky

This vast firmament open to my eyes
Wet with tears

And there in the middle
Above Prechistensky Boulevard
Surrounded and sprinkled on all
Sides by stars
Shines The Great Comet of 1812
The Brilliant Comet of 1812

The comet said to portend untold horrors
And the end of the world

But for me the comet brings no fear
No, I gaze joyfully and this bright star
Having traced it's parabola
With inexpressible speed
Through immeasurable space seems suddenly
To have stopped
Like an arrow piercing the earth
Stopped for me

It seems to me that this comet
Feels me feels my softened and uplifted soul
And my newly melted heart now blossoming
Into a new life
