Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
AriaAlways the quarry
that I stalk fades, or evades me.
And I walk an endless hall of chandeliers
in light that blinds, in light that sears,
reflected from a million smiles.
All empty as the country miles
of silly wood and senseless park.
And only in my heart… the dark.
(He sits down)
I wish I were happy.
(Nick comes into the room)
