New Music lyrics
New Music
FATHER:
Where have I been?
How did we change,
Caught in this strange
New music?
Say,
Was I away too long?
MOTHER:
Just like that tune,
Simple and clear,
I've come to hear
New music.
FATHER:
New music.
Why,
Why can't you hear the song?
YOUNGER BROTHER:
His fingers stoke those keys,
And every note says "Please",
And every chord says "Turn my way."
MOTHER, FATHER:
I thought I knew
What love was but these lovers play...
MOTHER, FATHER, YOUNGER BROTHER:
New music!
Haunting me,
And somehow taunting me-
My love was never half as true.
FATHER:
And I as myself,
Why can't I sing it too?
WORKERS, NEIGHBORS:
His fingers stoke those keys,
And every note says "Please",
And every chord says "Turn my way."
WORKERS, NEIGHBORS, FAMILY:
I thought I knew
What love was
but these lovers play
New music!
ALL:
Haunting me,
And somehow taunting me-
My love was
Never half as true.
COALHOUSE:
Sarah, my life has changed.
Sarah, you've got to see.
Sarah, we got a son!
Sarah, come down to me...
SARAH:
You and your music
Singing deep in me,
Making nice to me,
Saying something so new-
COALHOUSE:
New
SARAH:
Changing everything,
Meaning everything,
COALHOUSE:
Music
SARAH:
Calling my heart to you...
COALHOUSE:
All for you, girl.
You, Sarah.
SARAH:
Play that melody,
Your sweet melody,
Calling my heart to you.
COALHOUSE:
You.
ALL (except Coalhouse & Sarah):
Just like that tune,
Simple and clear,
I've come to hear
New music-
Breaking my heart,
Op'ning a door,
Chamging the world!
New music!
I'll
Hear it forevermore!
