Dave Malloy
Not Alone
[RACH]
YOU ARE HERE
YOU'RE IN THE OTHER ROOM

[RACH & NATALYA]
I CAN HEAR EVERY SOUND YOU MAKE DEAR
I AM NOT ALONE
NOT ALONE EVER AGAIN

A PENCIL SCRATCH ON AN EMPTY PAGE
YOU LIFT THE LATCH AND OPEN A WINDOW PANE
AND ALL I HEAR IS THE SOUND
OF YOUR LIFE SINGING IN MY EARS
AND ALL OF THE PEACE THAT I HAD FOR SO MANY YEARS
NOW THAT'S ALL GONE, ALL GONE
ALL OF MY LIFE IS ENTWINED WITH MY LOVE
EVERY WHISPER, SNORE, AND HEARTBEAT
EVERY RHAPSODY OF
WHAT'S YOURS IS MINE

(NATALYA comes in and listens some more.)

[NATALYA]
Look, I know you're trying

[RACH]
No, I'm…I don't know
[NATALYA]
This is really beautiful

[RACH]
Yeah—

[NATALYA]
How did you do this?

[RACH]
I don't know
How do you write?

[NATALYA]
It's different for me
I'm not a big deal composer
I just sing little tunes

[RACH]
They're really good

[NATALYA]
I don't know, Serge, I just sing them!
It's not magic Serge
Just sing something and write it down
[RACH]
Just sing something and write it down
Right

I'm sorry

[RACH & NATALYA]
BUT YOU ARE HERE
DON'T EVER LEAVE
YOU CAN HELP ME LIVE DEAR
IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT
WE'RE TOGETHER FOR THIS

YOU TOOK ALL MY EMPTY SPACE
YOU ARE MY SAVING GRACE
