Answer Me Lyrics by Adam Kantor & The Band's Visit Original Broadway Company

Here I am
Here I am
And the light is dying

Where are you?
Where are you?
Will you answer me?

All alone
In the quiet
And my ears are thirsty

For your voice
For your voice
Can you answer me?

If I try, maybe I can see your shadow
In the sodium light that masquerade as moon

If I try, I might take off like a sparrow
And I’ll travel around the guiding breeze

Very soon
Very soon
That’s the sound of longing

Are you there?
Are you there?
Will you answer me?

[Dialogue]

In my dreams my beloved lies beside me
When the sun lights the room, I find its only me

Only me (Only you when the sun is gone)
Only me (Only me when the moon is)
With the world around me
With the world - all around me
With the world around me

Only you
When the sun and moon and stars are gone all that’s left is only you
Will you answer me
Answer me
