The Tempest Act II by Thomas Ads Lyrics
[Prospero]
What was before is no more
My father's gone, I live on
Bound and tied till I die
Trees and stones to be my home
Lost like a dream, all I've been
Nothing left but this grief
Only she conforts me
In this night she is the light
[Miranda]
How can I offer what I'd give?
How can I ask for what I'd have?
Do you love me?
Why do I weep?
Love is strong and I am weak
[Prospero, Miranda]
As soon as I saw you my heart flew to serve me
As if it had waited my whole life to love you
What is your name?
Miranda
I've disobeyed father said not to say
Admired Miranda wonder of my life
My wife
[Both]
High on the headland, low in the dry sand
Deep in the woodland, there we'll lie
Or on a rock face near where the waves break
Hearing the tide race, you and I
Oh will you have me
Tell me you love me
If you are with me, I am entire
My lover smiling, blessed asylum
Bountiful island all I desire
[Ferdinand]
Miranda, I've lost her
I cannot rule their minds
My child has conquered me
A strong power than mine
Has set the young man free
What was before is no more
My father's gone, I live on
Bound and tied till I die
Trees and stones to be my home
Lost like a dream, all I've been
Nothing left but this grief
Only she conforts me
In this night she is the light
[Miranda]
How can I offer what I'd give?
How can I ask for what I'd have?
Do you love me?
Why do I weep?
Love is strong and I am weak
[Prospero, Miranda]
As soon as I saw you my heart flew to serve me
As if it had waited my whole life to love you
What is your name?
Miranda
I've disobeyed father said not to say
Admired Miranda wonder of my life
My wife
[Both]
High on the headland, low in the dry sand
Deep in the woodland, there we'll lie
Or on a rock face near where the waves break
Hearing the tide race, you and I
Oh will you have me
Tell me you love me
If you are with me, I am entire
My lover smiling, blessed asylum
Bountiful island all I desire
[Ferdinand]
Miranda, I've lost her
I cannot rule their minds
My child has conquered me
A strong power than mine
Has set the young man free
