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!
