Lyrics: Paul Gordon/John Caird
Music: Paul Gordon
Jane:
What can I do, I feel his love
Would I be judged my God above
If I were to stay here by his side
Surely there would be no blame
If I do not take his name
I'll have his heart but I'll not be his bride
And we could sail away, get lost at sea
Where we could lose ourselves
Where we are blind and free
For as sirens call the sailors
He calls to me
Lord, is this to be my worth
I pray there was a reason for my birth
Is this what you would have me do
Break my sacred vow to you
Destroy the laws of heaven here on earth
Jane & Rochester (with Jane below):
What can I do, I feel his love (Jane, don't you see)
Would I be judged by God above if I am not there to hear his call (No one is injured by this breach)
Curse the passion, dim the flame (Jane, don't you see)
If I cannot take his name I cannot take anything at all (Our spring of life is within reach)
Oh, let me sail away and make this vow (You are my life, my second self)
That what my heart wants I will not allow (Oh, be my wife, my little elf)
(You are my Jane) For as sirens
call the sailors (Oh, say my name)
He calls me now
