Dracula on Broadway
Scene 3 - Lucy's Bedroom Day 4
SWEET
SINFONIA
MINA
Sleep just to dream of such glorious freedom
wake to the harshness of day
Sweet Sinfonia you play in my sleep
Cloud my mind
call my thoughts with a promise of heaven
turning my heart with a song
Tempting my soul with sweet hope of salvation
Holy I pray I've not waited too long.
Marked by the clock, time is ticking away
All alone with my prayers, I silently wonder
Do I speak up, would I know what to say?
Will there soon be a right time, a day time, a night time
Fly me away give me the chance to dream
Carry me up into a perfect sky
[Mina rises, and begins to dance in place very slowly. A small white
envelop drops from the sinfonia. Mina picks it up and opens it.]
MINA
Request the presence of Miss Mina Murray, Sunday next,
Carfax Abbey. Until we meet again. Count Vlad de Dracul.
I will not feel trapped like a jewel in a box,
A mad angel who's clipped off her wings?
I have been such an obedient puppet
Now this lovely puppet is breaking her strings
Marked by the clock, time is ticking away
I will not sit alone and quietly question
Will my demands be coldly denied
By a God sent to take me, to break me, forsake me
Fly me away
Give me the chance to dream
Carry me up
Into a perfect sky.
Fly me away
I want the chance to dream
Carry me up
Into a perfect sky
Tonight
