New Music Lyrics

Father



Where have I been?

How did we change?

Caught in this strange new music?

Say,

Was I away too long?



Mother



Just like that tune,

Simple and clear.

I've come to hear                                   Father

New music.                                           New Music. 

Why

Why can't you hear the song?



Both



His fingers stroke those keys,

And every note says, "please,"

And every chord says, "Turn my way."



Younger Brother



I thought I knew

What love was

But these lovers play



Younger Brother, Father, Mother



New Music!

Haunting me,

And somehow taunting me....

My love was never half as true.

And I ask myself,

Why can't I sing it, too?



Neighborhood Workers, Family



His fingers stroke those keys,

And every note says, "please,"

And every chord says, "Turn my way."



Neighbors, Family



I thought I knew

What love was

But these lovers play

New music!



All Family



Haunting me

And somehow taunting me...

My love was

Never half as true.



Coalhouse



Sarah, my life has changed.

Sarah, you've got to see.

Sarah, we've got a son!

Sarah, come down to me...



Sarah



You and your music,

Singing deep in me,

Making nice to me,                                  Coalhouse

Saying something so new...                          New

Changing everything,                                   Music

Meaning everything,                                         

Calling my heart to you...

All for you, girl

Play that melody.                                          You,

Your sweet melody                                       Sarah,

Calling my heart to you!                                 You!
