Final Storm
DREAMERS:
Coming a terrible storm
Shaking the souls of the dead
Quaking the floor underfoot
Shaking the roof over head!
Not since I was a child
Have I feared!

ROSE:
Mistress Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?

AYAH:
Not so well, she said, see the lilly's dead
Pull it up, and out you go

MAJOR HOLMES:
Mistress Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?

CLAIRE: DREAMERS:
Oh, it's dry, she wailed, It's a maze, this garden
See, the iris failed, It's a maze of ways
Dig it up, and out you go

AYAH: Something wrong inside it
Mistress Mary
Quite contrary
How does your garden It's a maze, this garden
Grow? It's a maze of ways

LEUTENANT: FEMALE DREAMERS:
Had an early frost, High on a hill

MAN and WOMAN:
Now it's gone, it's lost, Something
Dig it up, and out Wrong is
You go. Inside it

DREAMERS:
It's a maze, this garden
It's a maze of ways
Meant to lead a soul astray

It's a maze, this garden
It's a maze of ways
It's a maze, this garden
It's a maze of ways
Meant to lead a soul astray

DREAMERS (ALBERT):
Mistress Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?

Dig it up, and out you go (Mary!)
You're out, you go (Mary!)
Out, you go

LILY:

Comes the garden

MARY:
There it is! There's the door
There's the door to the garden
