I Heard Someone Crying
MARY (LILY):
Oooh...
I heard someone crying
Who, tho', could it be?
Maybe it was Mother
Calling out, come see
Maybe it was father
All alone and lost and cold
I heard someone crying
Maybe it was me
Oooh...
ARCHIBALD:
I heard someone singing
Who, tho', could it be?
Maybe it was Lily
Calling out to me
Maybe she's not gone
So far away as I've been told!
I heard someone singing
Maybe it was she
MARY (LILY):
Maybe it was someone I could
Find and have a cup of tea
Maybe it was someone who could
Bring the tea and come find me
Oooh...
LILY:
I heard someone crying
Tho' I can't say who
Someone in this house
With nothing left to do
Sounded like a father
Left alone his love grown cold
I heard someone crying
Maybe it was you
ARCHIBALD and MARY:
Maybe I was dreaming of a garden growing far below
Maybe I was dreaming of a life
That I will never know
MARY: ARCHIBALD:
I heard someone crying, Lily, where are you? I'm lost without you
Who, tho' could it be? I can't walk these halls without you
Someone in this house(Ooo...) Lily, where are you? I'm lost without you
Whom no one seems to see (Ooo...) I have searched the world, but you're not there
Someone no one seems to (Ooo...) Come, tell me why you
Hear, except for me Without you Brought me home if you're not here
I heard someone calling. My Lily, where are you, I'm lost without you
Maybe it was he. Lily, I'm lost
(Ooo...) Without you
(Ooo...)
MAJOR HOLMES, LTS. WRIGHT and SHAW:
I heard someone crying
Who else could it be?
Surely it was Mary
Why can no one see?
ROSE, CLAIRE and ALICE:
Crying for her mother
For the life she's never known
ALBERT:
So lost
See her lying
In her room alone
(LILLY):
(Ooo...)
