Watchmen for the Morning by Steven Chelik-DeMeyer Lyrics
[BRIDGET, spoken]
Miss Lizzie, one of the police gentlemen wants to speak with you
[LIZZIE, spoken]
Why?
[EMMA, spoken]
I tried to keep it from you as long as possible. I begged them to let you stay here with me. Lizzie, they have come to take you to the jailhouse in Taunton until a trial date can be set
[BRIDGET, spoken]
Miss Emma, the police have pulled the carriage around the front of the house, shall I have them move it to the back?
[LIZZIE, spoken]
No, I am ready to go
Good people of Fall River, my sister and I thank you for your kind regards in our time of sorrow. We have this day offered a five-thousand dollar reward to be paid to anyone who may secure the arrest and conviction of the person, or persons, who occasioned the death of our father...
[EMMA, spoken]
And his wife. Until that day, we pray that the Lord will sustain us
[EMMA & LIZZIE]
Out of the depths I cry to thee
Lord, Lord hear my voice
Let thy ears be attentive
To the voice of my prayer
My soul waits for the Lord
And in his word I hope
My soul waits for the Lord
More than watchmen
For the morning
[LIZZIE, spoken]
Emma, are you going to give me away?
[EMMA, spoken]
No Lizzie, I won't
[LIZZIE, spoken]
Yes you will. But I will let you see. I won't give in one inch
[EMMA & LIZZIE]
If thou should mark iniquities
Lord, Lord who could stand
But there is forgiveness with thee
That thou may be feared
My soul it waits
It waits for the Lord
And in
And in his word I hope
My soul waits for the Lord
More than watchmen
For the morning
More than watchmen
For the morning
More than watchmen
For the morning
