Perfect Stranger Lyrics by Jon English, Sheila Parker, John Parr
Paris (Original Musical Soundtrack)
1990
[ANDRUSTE] Please, Your Majesty He seems barely alive So little chance of survival Surely it would be kinder If he had been taken at sea And should king Menelaus find out [HELEN] Only gods to decide [ANDRUSTE] That you’re here without [HELEN] If he lives or die [ANDRUSTE] Well you know we will be - [HELEN] We'll do what we can [ANDRUSTE, spoken] Please Your Majesty [HELEN] After all, he's just a man [ANDRUSTE, spoken] But I'll be in trouble [HELEN] I’m trying to listen I can feel a heart beating It's a miracle that he survived So long in the storm [ANDRUSTE, spoken] But what can we do? [HELEN] Go fetch the fisherman We need his help [ANDRUSTE, spoken] Yes, ma’am [HELEN] We must keep him warm Somehow I'm sure I've seen him before I’ve no idea how this could be Some perfect stranger Why does he seems so familiar to me? [ANDRUSTE] Just like I told you, he is [ANDRUSTE and HELEN] Some perfect stranger [HELEN] Maybe my imagination is fooling me Foolish me [FISHERMAN] Your Majesty Please forgive me I'm not convinced this is right Last evening I sighted a galley Searching through the night And I swear that her colors were Trojan And now we find From out of nowhere This poor wretched thing from the sea [HELEN] Oh [HELEN and FISHERMAN] He's some perfect stranger [ANDRUSTE, spoken] He looks so young [FISHERMAN, spoken] Yes but any Trojan could be an enemy [HELEN] I just don’t know what possessed me To come here to this place [ANDRUSTE] Oh, but surely not him [ALL] He's some perfect stranger [ANDRUSTE and HELEN] It's been so long since we’ve been here So why today [HELEN, spoken] Why today? [PARIS, spoken] Aphrodite It's true [PARIS] Here you are I finally meet you Face to face I must be at heaven's door And you are worth dying for But this death is strange Somehow I breathe And still feel pain But I gave you the sun And now I claim my reward Will you stay by me Aphrodite Sweet Aphrodite I always knew You'd come for me I always knew [HELEN] You jump to conclusions, my friend You are no more dead than I Fate shows you favour We were merely passing by But why when you fought so hard to live Should you wish to die [FISHERMAN] There aren’t many others who survive Such a battle With the wild Aegean tides [ANDRUSTE and HELEN] It’s lucky we were near Lucky we were here [HELEN] Strange that I was - [HELEN and PARIS] Here you are I finally meet you Face to face Out of the past And into this lonely place [HELEN, spoken] He has no idea who I am [ANDRUSTE, spoken] I think he raves, Mistress [FISHERMAN, spoken] I'm sure he isn't from Greece [ANDRUSTE, spoken] He called you Goddess, didn’t he [FISHERMAN, spoken] And you shouldn't be here [HELEN] He called out a name meant for me [ANDRUSTE] I don't think that he'll die [FISHERMAN] I still think he's a spy [HELEN] For me [ANDRUSTE] I don’t really know why [HELEN] Yet I just answered [ANDRUSTE and FISHERMAN] He seems so innocent He is not innocent He could mean danger [ANDRUSTE, HELEN and FISHERMAN] Some perfect stranger This stranger Think of the danger [HELEN] He sees me as someone that I cannot possibly be Yet, I feel that I know him and he's (and he's a stranger) Some perfect stranger I'll give Care for him Until he’s well
