Goodnight, Sweet Ladies
[Emily:]Goodnight, sweet ladies...Goodnight, sweet friends...You lie but sleepingSomeday we will meet again, sweet ladies...Goodnight, sweet friends...You lie but sleepingSomeday we will meet again
[Emily, Inmates:]With rosemary green and brightYou're not forgotten, eternal nightCan't fade your memory, dim your lightYou've made a difference, you've won your fight
We lift our branches and though we weepNo death could conquer, you only sleepGoodnight, sweet ladies...Goodnight, sweet friends...You lie but sleepingSomeday we will meet again

We lift our branches and though we weepNo death could conquer, you only sleepGoodnight, sweet ladies...Goodnight, sweet friends...You lie but sleepingSomeday we will meet again
Let no voice falter, let die no flameLet all remember your every nameLet faces turn to the starry skyLet songs be sung 'til our throats are dryLet no voice falter, let die no flameLet all remember your every nameLet faces turn to the starry skyLet songs be sung 'til our throats are dry
Dry... dry... dry... dry...
[Simultaneously]Four o'clock, four o'clock...Never let me sleep...Four o'clock, four o'clock...Never let me sleep...
[Simultaneously]The art of suicide...Nightgowns and hair...Curls flying every which way...
[Simultaneously]I close my eyes and pray for the garish light of day...Like a frightened child I run from the sleep that never comes...
[Simultaneously]If I burn you will see the fire in your mind when you sleep...
[Simultaneously]The pain too pure to hide...Bridges of sighs...Meant to conceal lover's lies...
[Simultaneously]I close my eyes and pray for the garish light of day...Like a frightened child I run from the sleep that never comes...
[Simultaneously]Under the arches of moonlight and sky...Under the arches of moonlight and sky...
