#wip basically

Lead through the mist  By the milk light of moon All that was lost  Is revealed Our long bag of burdens (?) Mere echoes of the spring But where have we come,  And where shall we end? If dreams can’t come true Then why not pretend How the gentle wind Beckons through the leaves As Autumn colours Fall

(Spoken): Somewhere lost in the clouded annals of history lies a place that few have seen.  A mysterious place called The Unknown.  Where long forgotten stories are revealed to those who travel through the wood.

Patient is the Night: 

Upon the fields of straw I stole her (?) Clocked in ‘till the work day is over Time’s a gentle stream Longer than it seems Patient is the night How I long to see her face now Her starry moonlit gaze, now I know she’s never late So anxiously I wait Patient is the night

Adelaide Parade V1:

I don’t know who she is or how she is  Or when what why she is But as for where she is She is where we will go

To Adelaide. To Adelaide.  Come on and join the Adelaide Parade Adelaide, to Adelaide.  Let’s go to Adelaide’s house.

Langtree’s Lament:

A is for the apple that he gave to me But I found a worm inside it B is for beloved that I called to him Before he left my sight And C, See what he did, that’s D Did it to poor old me How could I be such an emotional fool, F G is for the gentleman I thought he was When he first said hi, H, I, J is for the joker that his Jimmy be The man made me cry (That’s a C) And K, Well you know it’s just not okay To kiss and then run away Leaving alone without leaving a letter for Langtree M is for the misery he left me in Never to return again Oh what a poor, P, fool I’ve been Queuing in line for him And R, Are you the one for me? Yes, say you’ll come back to me Why are you tempted to tease me? (Oh…)  You, Why not U, will got to understand The value of a woman’s heart. V!  Why, W not Y, did you think it was fine To ex me from the start And Y is why is the question that’s on my mind Oh why Why did you leave me Right before reaching Our Z, and (Oh…) 1 is the number of men I’ve loved And 2 is the times I’ll say it’s you (It’s you) 3 is the number of days you’ve been gone But it feel likes 4 times 2. 8 At the hour the sun goes down I remember life with you around I wish I had 9 lives like that one (Oh…)

Potatoes and Molasses:

Oh potatoes  And molasses  If you want some Oh just ask us They’re warm and soft Like puppies and socks Filled with cream and candy rocks Oh potatoes And molasses They’re so much sweeter than Algebra class If your stomach is rumblin’  And your mouth starts mumblin’ There’s only one thing to keep your brain from crumblin’ Oh potatoes And molasses If you can’t see ‘em put on your glasses They’re shiny and large Like a fisherman’s barge You know you eat enough when you start seein’ stars Oh potatoes And molasses It’s the only thing left on your tusk 'Less they're short and stout to make everyone shout For potatoes And molasses For potatoes  And

That’s enough!

The Highway Man:

I’m the Highway man. I make ends meet.  Just like any man. I work with my hands. You cross my path…

I’ll knock you out Along the road Steal your shoes from off your feet The Highway Man Gonna make ends meet

A Courting Song: (def need help w this one)

Write a loving letter, boy,  The swoops and sweeps and curls Calligraphers are just the thing To help you win your girl

Then you’ll need to dress up smart The tailor’s here by chance He’ll stitch your trousers, hold your belt And find culture a friends (??? probably way wrong)

Your shoes might be a little worn (??? also probably wrong) But you’re too young to know Nothing courts a women’s score When there’s cuffs on the toe

The cobbler can attend to that Meanwhile you must have cake The baker and the ____ (what guy is he saying???) Need work for goodness sake

Hie Dee Diddly Um Da Dum Da Dae What a merry time we’ll have upon your wedding day Hie Dee Diddly Um Da Dum Da Dae There’s work for all the little boys getting maried

That pointy cone upon your head You can’t be wearin’ that The milliner will fix you up With proper heist of cat (??? DEFINITELY WRONG)

The bride of course Should wear a dress (?)

The Beast:

We all know the beast, pilgrim He lurks out there in the unknown Seeking those who are far from home Hoping never to let you return OOh, OOh Better beware Ooh, Ooh The beast is out there Ooh, Ooh Better be wise And don’t believe his lies For once your will begins to spoil He’ll turn you to a tree of oil And use you in his lanturn for to burn

Adelaide Parade V2:

Oh, we’re going to the pasture  To meet Adelaide And ask her if she has a way  To send us back where we came from

I don’t know who she is or how she is  Or when what why she is But as for where she is She is where we will go

To Adelaide, Adelaide.  Come on and join the Adelaide Parade Adelaide, to Adelaide.  We’re going to Adelaide’s house today

Over the Garden Wall: (lots of trouble with this one wtf)

At night when the lake is a mirror And the moon rides the waves to the shore A single soul sets its way singing (?) Content to be slightly forlorn A song rises over the lilies Sweeps high to gleer over the reeds Over the moon brush is swaying (?) To pluck at a pair of heart strings Two voices, now they are singing Then ten as the melody soars (??????) are joining in song

i give up whatever at least i tried.

Like Ships:

Here we are Two of us, like ships Like Ships upon a winding river And yet And yet somehow We found each other Like strangers, you and I

Wirt’s Anthem:
