Lukas Alone

It's always "let's have a ball, Lukas. Let's find a bride, Lukas. Where are my grandbabies, Lukas? I'm literally dying, Lukas. What about my needs, Lukas?" What about my desires, Mother? Everyday in my ear Like bees in a hive, Madame Margarette has her way Buzzing: "Lukas, my Lukas You shall have a ball Even though it's quite to your dismay!" Tell me what's in a dance? Debutantes gavotte in a trance. All the rich, dirty, roustabout Bores of the kingdom attend… But then what if The doors are opened, In walks that woman Looking simply radient, Time is frozen, Names are spoken And I am not left in the dark? I'm rather aloof While looking for proof That shows that this siren Is more than just a spectre in the night. Still, I'm stuck in this castle Wasting breath on hello's To each dame, lady, and ingenue. Why would I want a woman Who's vanity reigns, When there exists such a person like you? God! I can't get you out of my mind! I can hear you, I am near you, Reaching out my hand to you. Can you hear me? Can you feel my heart Drawing you near? Why do you fade Like the mist of the lake? And I know, I must choose; Decide what I'm to do. Do I waste for my kingdom Or do I live for you? Though we're miles away I pray, how I pray You can hear me. Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
