Oh

Round about the beacon we go

We’re never alone

Covens of flowers

And beds we call home


[MEG]

Watch how the stories unfold on their own


[ADELAIDE]

My favorite thing is walking home

From church on Sundays

Watching the birds, on my way home

Everything is as it should be

Not a feather or twig out of place

I brought disinfectant just in case

Cause if I were to fall

I’d disappear without a trace

My husband died last fall

I don’t feel him here at all

Everyone tells me when loved one’s diе

They’re aren’t rеally gone

So where are you?


[Chorus]

I’ve been down this path

A thousand times and more

Nothing has changed, but oh that forest floor

It never sparked interest in me before

But now that you’re gone, I’ve been wanting more


[VERSE]

Now that you’re gone

I have urges to stray off the road

I need something different, something exciting

To lighten the load

And maybe I’ll find a new friend

To help me feel less alone

I have a nice house, but I am looking for a home


[Chorus]

I’ve been down this path

A thousand times and more

Nothing has changed, but oh that forest floor

It never sparked interest in me before

But now that you’re gone, I’ve been wanting more

Not a feather or twig out of place

I built a high wall just in case

Cause if I were to fall

I fear that nothing at all would change

When will things change


[BEA]

When will things change


[GRACE]

When will things change


[CASSIA]

When will things change


[MEG]

I don’t want things to change


[ENSEMBLE]

Adelaide

Oh Adelaide

What will you change

Oh Adelaide

*Music Break*


[BEATRICE]

So we can be

Eachother’s new

A stranger world

I could share with you

My home is yours

And Adelaide

Will you stand by me for the rest of our...


[ADELAIDE]

I’ve been down this path

A thousand times and more

I’m changing my story, the rest of my life’s in store

My heart keeps on beating

Toward this distant shore

And now, I might be finding more
