Johanna (Act 2 Sequence)
[ANTHONY]
I feel you, Johanna
I feel you
Do they think that walls can hide you?
Even now, I'm at your window
I am in the dark beside you
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair
Johanna
[TODD]
Johanna
And are you beautiful and pale
With yellow hair, like her?
I'd want you beautiful and pale
The way I dreamed you were
Johanna
[ANTHONY]
Johanna
[TODD]
And if you're beautiful, what then?
With yellow hair like wheat
I think we shall not meet again
My little dove, my sweet
Johanna
[ANTHONY]
I'll steal you
Johanna
[TODD, ANTHONY]
Goodbye, Johanna
You're gone and yet you're mine
I'm fine, Johanna
I'm fine (Johanna)
[BEGGAR WOMAN]
Smoke, smoke
Sign of the devil, sign of the devil
City on fire
Witch, witch
Smell it, sir, an evil smell
Every night at the vespers bell
Smoke that comes from the mouth of hell
City on fire
City on fire
Mischief, mischief
Mischief
[TODD]
And if I never hear your voice
My turtledove, my dear
I still have reason to rejoice
The way ahead is clear
Johanna
[JOHANNA]
I'll marry Anthony Sunday
Anthony Sunday
[ANTHONY]
I feel you
[TODD]
And in that darkness when I'm blind
With what I can't forget
[ANTHONY]
Johanna
[TODD]
It's always morning in my mind
My little lamb, my pet
Johanna
[JOHANNA]
I knew you'd come for me one day
Come for me one day
[TODD, TODD & ANTHONY]
You stay, Johanna
[TODD]
The way I dreamed you are
Oh, look, Johanna
A star
[ANTHONY]
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair
[TODD]
A shooting star
[BEGGAR WOMAN]
There, there
Somebody, somebody, look up there
Didn't I tell you? Smell that air
City on fire
Quick, miss, run and tell!
Warn 'em all of the witch's spell
There it is, there it is, the unholy smell
Tell it to the Beadle and the police as well
Tell 'em, tell 'em
Help, fiend
City on fire
City on fire
Mischief, mischief, mischief
Fiend
Alms, alms
[TODD]
And though I'll think of you, I guess
Until the day I die
I think I miss you less and less
As every day goes by
Johanna
[ANTHONY]
Johanna
[JOHANNA]
With you beside me on Sunday
Married on Sunday
[TODD]
And you'd be beautiful and pale
And look too much like her
If only angels could prevail
We'd be the way we were
Johanna
[ANTHONY, JOHANNA]
I feel you (Married on Sunday)
Johanna (Married on Sunday)
[TODD]
Wake up, Johanna
Another bright red day
We learn, Johanna
To say
Goodbye
[ANTHONY]
I'll steal you
