The Heart of Tom Wingfield

from The Dark Side of Red by Shandy Lawson

/

lyrics

It’s quietest just before curtain
The house lights soften to black
A guy in the last row stifles a cough
The director gives me a wink
And I give a wink back

And this moment is mine
As if caught in a jar
While I find the heart
While I find the heart of Tom Wingfield

My eyes, fixed on the footlights
My feet carry me off to my mark
As I alight from the shelter of the wings
My lines slither and soar
Into the dark

And this moment is mine
As if caught in a jar
While I find the heart
While I find the heart of Tom Wingfield
