Fable Lyrics by Adam Guettel

The Light in the Piazza (Original Broadway Cast)

0

[MARGARET]
You can look in the forest
For a secret field
For a golden arrow
For a prince to appear
For a fable of love that will last forever

You can look in the rooms
For a wishing well
For a magic apple
For a charioteer
For a fable of love that will carry you

To a moon on a hill
To a hidden stream
A lagoon and a red horizon dream
Silhouette
Sail away from time forever

To a valley beyond the setting sun
Where waters shine and horses run
Where there's a man who looks for you
But while you look you are chained turning
You're a well of wishes
You're a fallen apple

No!
No!

Love's a fake
Love's a fable
Just a painting
On a ceiling
Just a children's fairy tale
Still you have to look
And look, and look, and look, and look
And look, and look, and look, and look
Through the eyes
On a bridge in the pouring rain
Not the eyes but the part you can't explain
For the arms you could fall into forever
For the joy that you thought you'd never know
For here at last away you go
To a man who looks for you

Can you find in the world
In the wide, wide world
That someone sees
That someone loves you
Love
Love
Love if you can now, my Clara
Love if you can and be loved

May it last forever, Clara
The light in the piazza
