Andrew Lloyd Webber - Act One Finale lyrics
[Andrew Lloyd Webber - Act One Finale lyrics]
(The women put on their cloaks
And steal out into the night they reach the
Boathouse at Blackwater pool)
She's not here!
Have faith! She will come
(startled) what's that?
Hush, be calm!
(She appears to them laura and Anne
Gaze in awe at each other)
I look at you and see myself
I look at you and see myself
So strange, and yet so true
I see my soul in you
Almost my living replica
It's true!
Our every move so similar
So much like you!
My face, but with years of strain
Your eyes reveal such pain
It's like I've known you all my life
At last, it's safe to hope again
Somehow you complete you
I know I can trust you here with you
I am safe at last you were there
You were always there like your heart
Beats within my heart and the truth
It can set us free now that we're together
We must help each other
(Suddenly gunshots are heard
And the strange sound of hunting horns)
I hear them coming!
They've come to lock me up
Don't let them catch me
Don't let them take me back!
(She starts to run, the women
Following her: "Anne! Please wait, anne!")
(Sir Percival appears with servants)
The one in white!
She must not get away again!
(to Laura and Marian)
I thank you both
For having led me straight to her!
(Men try to capture her anne turns on Laura)
You have betrayed me!
You have set a trap here!
No, no, believe me!
Curse you, Lady Glyde!
Take her back to the asylum!
(The men grab for her she escapes)
(to Glyde) you may lock me up forever
But I will set my secret free!
You can't stop me now I'll tell the world
What you did to me!
Shut up her mouth and her ugly lies!
(The men gag her)
Let her go!
Count Fosco, you've got to help us!
(Fosco goes to Anne she struggles
He injects her with a
Sedative she faints into the arms of the men
Her captors)
I'm sorry the woman was a danger
To herself i had no choice
It is the best way! I am a doctor
(Sir Percival and Fosco exit
With Anne and the
Other men the two women are left
Shivering and afraid)
We are powerless at the hands of these men!
(Marian puts her arms round her sister)
We will not be victims
Laura we will right this wrong
(The two remain as the light fades and
A thunderstorm rumbles somewhere
In the distance)
And steal out into the night they reach the
Boathouse at Blackwater pool)
She's not here!
Have faith! She will come
(startled) what's that?
Hush, be calm!
(She appears to them laura and Anne
Gaze in awe at each other)
I look at you and see myself
I look at you and see myself
So strange, and yet so true
I see my soul in you
Almost my living replica

Our every move so similar
So much like you!

Your eyes reveal such pain
