playing rapunzel – ophelia lyrics
[verse 1, marilisa:]
i stand before the water
and i think of my beloved
how it scares me, how it scares me
to be leaving him behind here
and i think he’d be surprised
to find me sounding so coherent
find me sound of mind and body
when he thought me long surrendered
to the cruel grip of madness
like a stone that sinks in water
and the water
and the water calls me in
[verse 2:]
i stand before the water
[counterpoint, mich:] white his shroud as the mountain snow
and i look at my reflection
larded with sweet flowers
see the empty-eyed young woman
which bewept to the grave didn’t go
see the wilting bunch of flowers
with true-love showers
there is rosemary for remembering
there is rosemary for remembrance
there are pansies for the thinking
i pray you, love, remember
will he think, will he remember
you must wear your rue with a difference
or dismiss it all as fancy
there are pansies, they’re for thoughts
and i drop them one by one
here’s a daisy, here’s a daisy
and send them floating in the water
i would give you violets
and the water
but they withered
and the water calls me in
they withered when he died
[bridge, marilisa:]
and i thought it would be kindness
if they thought it wasn’t me
thought a force beyond my power
was the one that drove my hand
and i’ve tried so hard to find a way
some other way to go
but my footsteps always take me to the water…
[verse 3:]
i stand before the water
[whispered, mich:] and will he not come again?
and i find myself a woman
o will he not come again?
standing naked for the first time
no, he is gone
with her lover, and i step in
well, god ‘ield you; they say the owl was a baker’s daughter
and i find myself a small girl
lord, we know what we are
jumping joyful in a puddle
[? 2.46]
and i sink in and i find myself
[? 2.52]
an infant in the darkness
o will he not come again?
of the womb that holds her gently
no … no …
and i’m safe now in the water
no
and the water
and the water calls me in
