Lyrics: Paul Gordon/John Caird
Music: Paul Gordon
Rochester:
Damn the passion, damn the skies,
Damn the light that’s in her eyes.
I know too well where it has led before.
She saves me, but I can’t be saved.
Frees me but I’m still enslaved.
Now I battle what I most adore.
Oh, let me sail away.
I’d make these vow:
That what my heart wants I cannot allow.
For as sirens call the sailors,
She calls me now.
Jane:
God save him if he can be saved,
Free him if his soul’s enslaved.
Clear the clouded refuge of his mind.
Quell his anger, calm his scorn,
Let his spirit be reborn.
Help him gather sight where he is blind.
Jane:
For I believe the ghosts of shame,
That haunt his past must rest at last.
Rochester:
Oh, let me sail away.
Get lost at sea,
Where I won’t hear her voice,
Where I am blind and free.
Jane:
The pain will cease,
God bring him peace.
Rochester:
For as sirens call the sailors,
She calls to me.
Rochester:
I cannot stand another knock.
My body dashed upon the rocky shore.
The darkness that invades my soul.
It sucks my blood.
It takes control.
Well, I will not endure it any more.
Jane:
I cannot think,
I cannot breathe
I cry his tears.
Rochester:
Damn the passion, damn the skies,
Damn the light that’s in her eyes.
I know too well where it has led before.
Jane:
I sense the secrets of his past.
I feel his fears.
Rochester:
She saves me, but I can’t be saved.
She frees me but I’m still enslaved.
Now I battle what I most adore.
Jane:
For I believe the ghosts of shame,
That haunts his past will rest at last.
Rochester:
Oh, let me sail away.
Get lost at sea,
Where I won’t hear her voice,
Where I am blind and free.
Jane:
The pain will cease.
God bring him peace.
Rochester:
For as sirens call the sailors,
She calls to me.
She calls to me.
Jane:
Heal his pain
Calm his sea
and let him sail on gentler waters to me.
Rochester:
She calls to me.
