[Original Broadway Cast of The Band’s Visit, Adam Kantor - Answer Me lyrics]
Here I am here I am and the light is dying
Where are you? Where are you?
Will you answer me?
All alone in the quiet
Ah, my ears are thirsty for your voice
For your voice can you answer me?
If I try, maybe I can see your shadow
In the sodium light that masquerades as moon
If I try, I might take off like a sparrow
And I'll travel along a guiding breeze
Very soon very soon
That's the sound of longing
Are you there? Are you there?
Will you answer me?
In my dreams, my beloved lies beside me
When the sun lights the room
I find it's only me
Only me
Only me
With the world
Around me
Only you when the sun is gone
Only me when the moon is
With the world
All around me
(One by one, the people join in:)
With the world around me
Only you
When the sun and moon and stars are gone
What's left is only you
Will you answer me? Answer me
Where are you? Where are you?
Will you answer me?
All alone in the quiet
Ah, my ears are thirsty for your voice
For your voice can you answer me?
If I try, maybe I can see your shadow
In the sodium light that masquerades as moon
If I try, I might take off like a sparrow
And I'll travel along a guiding breeze
Very soon very soon
That's the sound of longing
Are you there? Are you there?
Will you answer me?
In my dreams, my beloved lies beside me
When the sun lights the room
I find it's only me
Only me
Only me
With the world
Around me
Only you when the sun is gone
Only me when the moon is
With the world
All around me
(One by one, the people join in:)
With the world around me
Only you
When the sun and moon and stars are gone
What's left is only you
Will you answer me? Answer me
