Johanna (Judge's Song): Mea Culpa Lyrics > Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Judge:
Mea cupla, mea culpa
Mea maxima culpa
Mea maxima maxima culpa!
God deliever me! Release me!
Forgive me! Restrain me! Pervade me!

Johanna johanna
So suddenly a woman,
The light behind your window---
It penetrates your gown,
Johanna johanna
The sun---i see the sun through your--
No!
God!
Deliver me! Deliver me!
Down!
Down.
Down.....

Johanna johanna
I watch you from the shadows.
You sigh before your window
And gaze upon the town
Your lips part johanna
So young and soft and beautiful----
God!
Deliver me!
Filth.
Leave me!

Johanna johanna
I treasured you in innocence
And loved you like a daughter
You mock me, johanna
You tempt me with your innocence
You tempt with those quivering---
No!
God!
Deliver me!
It will---
Stop---
Now! It will---
Stop---
Right.
Now.
Right
Now.
Right
Now...

Johanna, johanna
I cannot keep you longer
The world is at your window
You want to fly away
You stir me, johanna
So suddenly a woman
I cannot watch you one more day---
God!
Deilver me!
God!
Deliver me!
God!
Deliver----!
God!!!!!

Johanna, johanna
I'll keep you here forever
I'll wed on the morrow
Johanna johanna
The world will never touch you
I'll wed you on the morrow
As years pass, johanna
You'll tend me in my solitude
No longer as my daughter
As a woman
Johanna johanna
I'll hold you here forever then
You'll keep away from windows and
You'll
Deliver me.
Johanna.
From this
Hot
Red
Devil
With your
Soft
White
Cool
Virgin
Palms.
