jonathan christenson - a taunting ray of hope كلمات أغنية
player 6
but, into this darkness
where edgar now struggled to cope, there shone
a light of possibility—
player 1
a taunting ray of hope
player 1
muddy clemm, she had a daughter—
player 6
sissy—
sissy
ma?
player 6
was her name—
sissy
i’m home!
player 1
she’d left for boarding school the day
before young edgar came
sissy
oh! i’ve missed you!
player 6
now she was done, and home she’d come
player 1
in edgar’s darkest hour
muddy
eddy? there’s someone i’d like you to meet:
this is my daughter!
sissy
cousin!
player 6
she said, taking his hands
in hers
sissy
what a pleasure it is!
player 1
and ever so lightly the ever so delicate
skin of her cheek met his
sissy
i’m sissy!
player 6
she giggled—
player 1
a sound that edgar
found so sweet and pure
player 6
it scattered the clouds of fear and doubt
player 1
and
players 1 and 6
made him feel clear and sure
player 6
and then, once again, she leaned in close
and whispered in his ear
sissy
i think you and i are going to become
the best of friends, my dear!
player 1
over the subsequent months of his cousin
edgar grew ever more fond
player 6
soon he stopped
drinking—
player 1
and between them there grew
players 1 & 6
an almost unbreakable bond
player 6
on most days, sissy played the piano
player 1
while edgar did sit and write
and he’d listen as
player 6
just like his mother did once
player 1
she sang songs late into the night
sissy
la_a_a!
player 6
well, not quite like his mother…
edgar
that was lovely!
sissy
was i sharp?
edgar
not at all!
sissy
did you like it?
edgar
very much!
player 1
soon things once again took a turn for the better
when edgar secured a position
with burton’s gentleman’s magazine, where
he started to gain recognition. and so—
on a monday in may, he stood at the altar
player 6
with sissy by his side
player 1
and his cousin—
player 6
his substitute sister
player 1
his surrogate mother
players 1 & 6
became his child bride
sissy
i just love weddings!
edgar
oh sissy!
when all of my hours passed dimly by
and colourless clouds obscured the sky
when restless nights were all i knew
your grace did guide me here to you
edgar and players 1 & 6
and barely awake, your words did seem
like the sweet music of a dream
where never again a sound too rude
upon my slumber shall intrude
edgar, sissy, and players
the morning
the noon
the twilight dim
my darling, all
have heard your hymn
the past
the present
the future shine
with hope
never_ending
with love divine
days disappear in your dear eyes
blue as the languid twilit skies
and, with the sunset’s golden glow
how strangely clear your image grows
the past
the present
the future shine
with never_ending
love divine
in joy
in sorrow
for good or ill
you know
i will
edgar
be with you
still
player 6
a lovely sentiment…
but—
such times are fleeting and soon an old
familiar feeling returned:
player 1
a n_ggling sense of dread which from
a lifetime of loss he had learned
player 6
it began, innocently enough
one warm afternoon in june
player 1
as edgar was writing the tale of a cat—
player 6
and sissy was singing a tune
when she stopped mid_verse—
player 1
edgar looked up
to see what the reason had been—
player 1
and he noticed with horror a trickle of blood—
player 6
which ran from her lips to her chin
sissy
oh dear!
player 1
for a while, edgar tried to believe it was nothing—
player 6
perhaps just a blood vessel burst—
player 1
but soon the signs could not be ignored…
sissy
i’m sorry, eddy!
players 1 & 6
and he braced himself for the worst
player 1
for with each passing day sissy wasted away
and horrified by the sight, edgar
would leave for work at the crack of dawn
and come back in the black of night
player 6
and there with sissy asleep in her bed
edgar would sit at his desk and write
tale upon tale and poem after poem—
of the ghastly… the grim… the grotesque
