Mandy Patinkin Poems Lyrics

[KAYAMA]
Rain
Glistening
On the silver birch
Like my lady's tears
Your turn

[MANJIRO]
Rain
Gathering
Winding into streams
Like the roads to Boston
Your turn
[KAYAMA]
Haze
Hovering
Like the whisper of the silk
As my lady kneels
Your turn

[MANJIRO]
Haze
Glittering
Like an echo of the lamps
In the streets of Boston
Your turn

[KAYAMA]
Moon
I love her like the moon
Making jewels of the grass
Where my lady walks
My lady wife

[MANJIRO]
Moon
I love her like the moon
Washing yesterday away
As my lady does
America
Your turn
[KAYAMA]
Wind
Murmuring
Is she murmuring for me
Through her fiеld of dreams?
Your turn

[MANJIRO]
Wind
Muttering
Is she quarrеling with me?
Does she want me home?
Your turn

[KAYAMA]
I am no nightingale
But she hears the song
I can sing to her My lady wife

[MANJIRO]
I am no nightingale
But my song of her
Could outsing the sea
America
[KAYAMA]
Dawn
Flickering
Tracing shadows of the pines
On my lady sleeping
Your turn

[MANJIRO]
Dawn
Brightening
As she opens up her eyes
But it's I who come awake
Your turn

[KAYAMA]
You go

[MANJIRO]
Your turn

[KAYAMA & MANJIRO]
Leaves
I love her like the leaves
Changing green to pink to gold
And the change is everything

Sun
I see her like the sun
In the center of a pool
Sending ripples to the shore
'Til my journey's end

[MANJIRO]
Your turn

[KAYAMA]
Rain

[MANJIRO]
Haze

[KAYAMA]
Moon

[MANJIRO]
Wind

[KAYAMA]
Nightingale

[MANJIRO]
Dawn

[KAYAMA]
Leaves

[MANJIRO]
Sun

[KAYAMA & MANJIRO]
End
