Meadowlark - Patti LuPone[00:00:00]

When I was a girl I had a favorite story[00:00:11]

Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind[00:00:18]

Her voice could match the angels in its glory[00:00:20]

But she was blind the lark was blind[00:00:22]

An old king came and took her to his palace[00:00:27]

Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid[00:00:31]

And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed[00:00:34]

Sing for me my meadowlark[00:00:40]

Sing for me of the silver morning[00:00:41]

Set me free my meadowlark[00:00:44]

And I'll buy you a priceless jewel[00:00:46]

And cloth of brocade and cruel[00:00:50]

And I'll love you for life if you will, sing for me[00:00:54]

Then one day as the lark sang by the water[00:01:05]

The god of the sun heard her in his flight[00:01:14]

And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her[00:01:21]

The gift of sight he gave her sight[00:01:25]

And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendor[00:01:28]

Of this beautiful young god so proud and strong[00:01:30]

And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender[00:01:34]

Come along fly with me, my meadowlark[00:01:38]

Fly with me on the silver morning[00:01:50]

Past the sea where the dolphins bark[00:01:52]

We will dance on the coral beaches[00:01:54]

Make a feast of the plums and peaches[00:02:01]

Just as far as your vision reaches, fly with me[00:02:15]

But the meadowlark said no for the old king loved her so[00:02:24]

She couldn't bear to wound his pride[00:02:27]

So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day[00:02:28]

He found his meadowlark had died every time I heard that part I cried[00:02:36]

And now I stand here, starry-eyed and stormy[00:02:43]

Oh, just when I thought my heart was finally numb[00:02:54]

A beautiful young man appears before me[00:03:05]

Singing, "Come oh won't you come?"[00:03:13]

And what can I do if finally for the first time[00:03:19]

The one I'm burning for returns the glow[00:03:24]

If love has come at last it's picked the worst time[00:03:27]

Still I know I've got to go[00:03:32]

Fly away, meadowlark[00:03:34]

Fly away in the silver morning[00:03:35]

If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark[00:03:37]

So it's off where the days won't bind me[00:03:41]

I know I leave wounds behind me[00:03:58]

But I won't let tomorrow find me back this way[00:04:14]

Before my past once again can blind me fly away[00:04:18]

And we won't wait to say goodbye[00:04:28]

My beautiful young man and I[00:04:30]
