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 Father
New music. New Music.
Why
Why can't you hear the song?
Both
His fingers stroke those keys,
And every note says, "please,"
And every chord says, "Turn my way."
Younger Brother
I thought I knew
What love was
But these lovers play
Younger Brother, Father, Mother
New Music!
Haunting me,
And somehow taunting me....
My love was never half as true.
And I ask myself,
Why can't I sing it, too?
Neighborhood Workers, Family
His fingers stroke those keys,
And every note says, "please,"
And every chord says, "Turn my way."
Neighbors, Family
I thought I knew
What love was
But these lovers play
New music!
All Family
Haunting me
And somehow taunting me...
My love was
Never half as true.
