Track Lyrics
Look at Me Now Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Someone is waiting, lurking in the trees
The spirit of her is walking back to me
Ah, look at me now feeling emotion
Ah, look at me now
[Verse 2]
The King of the castle brought her to her knees
Gave the Salvation Army girl a squeeze
Ah, look at me now feeling emotion
Ah, look at me now
Look at me now
[Bridge]
Now she's a sallow face
Scattering her lace on dewy ground
Ah, I keep searching my head
Now it's spinning around
[Verse 3]
Lifting her head, her countenance redeemed
Re-acted the murder by the silver stream
Ah, look at me now displaying emotion
Ah, look at me now
[Verse 4]
Look at me now so cold and yet so brave
Weave me some wings to take me to her grave
Ah, look at me now feeling emotion
Ah, look at me now
Look at me now
Nellie Takes Her Bow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who thanked the Lord for the clothes
That she wore and mended?
Nellie with the big old-fashioned eyes
Who won the heart of a crowd
Tore apart, took a bow?
Nellie, there's a different world backstage
[Refrain]
I see the floodlights burning
I hear the band play on
Now Nellie takes her bow
[Verse 2]
She said she really could not stay
Nellie, she had a brand-new play to play
And so she paints her face and smiles
And she'll be someone else in a while
[Refrain]
I see the floodlights burning
I hear the band play on
Now Nellie takes her bow
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
Just a lonely girl
Who could not face a broken world
And so she acts out all her dreams
And wishes that's how it had been
But when the audience is near
It seems as though she doesn't even care
[Verse 3]
Nellie just sent me a line
To tell me she was doing fine
She got the lead and on Broadway
And really digging her today
And so she turns another page
Living someone's life upon the stage
[Refrain]
I see the floodlights burning
I hear the band play on
Now Nellie takes her bow
Battle of Marston Moor (July 2nd 1644) Lyrics
[Skit]
My lord, king:
You stoop to betray your own people
And even in the eyes of God do you not relent?
I am therefore bound by no other course
I shall raise an army
Together, we will march against you and your kind
And every born man will fight to regain his own freedom
And cleanse his wretched soul
(Aye! Aye!)
Whisper in the Night Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whisper in the night over silent evening air
Angel's gown shines white
All at once you're glad she's there
Daughter of your dream, shine a guiding light for me
[Chorus]
For I'll be here 'til light
Whisper in the night
'Til she has forgiven me
[Verse 2]
Night turns into gold so the tide may turn today
Though God gave the world
It's not mine to throw away
Daughter of your dream, shine a guiding light for me
[Chorus]
For I'll be here 'til light
Whisper in the night
'Til she has forgiven me
La, da, da, da
Whisper in the night
'Til she has forgiven me
[Bridge]
Help me to face what the day may bring
Angels sing
You were sent to make the night be kind
What will I find?
Angels sing
[Instrumental Break 02:55-03:27]
[Verse 3]
Snowflake bird, she comes, taking grey clouds from your door
Face the midnight sun
You have something to live for
Daughter of your dream, shine a guiding light for me
[Chorus]
For I'll be here 'til light
Whisper in the night
'Til she has forgiven me
La, da, da, da
Whisper in the night
'Til she has forgiven me
