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
