Stephen Sondheim - There Is No Other Way lyrics

[FIRST OBSERVER] The eye sees, the thought flies The eye tells, the thought denies [SECOND OBSERVER] I will prepare for your returning (Is there no other way?) [FIRST OBSERVER] The word falls, the heart cries The heart knows the word's disguise [SECOND OBSERVER] I shall expect you then at evening (Is there no other way?) [FIRST OBSERVER] The bird sings, the wind sighs The air stirs, the bird shies A storm approaches [SECOND OBSERVER] (There must be other ways ...) [FIRST OBSERVER] The leaf shakes, the wings rise The song stops, the bird flies The storm approaches [SECOND OBSERVER] I will have supper waiting [FIRST OBSERVER] The song stops, the bird flies The mind stirs, the heart replies "There is no other way." [SECOND OBSERVER] I will prepare for your return I shall expect you then at evening [FIRST OBSERVER] The word stops, the heart dies The wind counts the lost goodbyes [SECOND OBSERVER] There is no other way There is no other way
