Agony-Stephen Sondheim

[00:00.000]High in a tower- [00:01.595]Like yours was, but higher- [00:03.364]A beauty asleep. [00:07.300]All round the tower [00:09.145]A thicket of briar [00:11.143]A hundred feet deep. [00:14.707]Agony! [00:17.333]No frustration mor keen, [00:20.777]When the one thing you want [00:24.493]Is a thing that you've not even seen. [00:29.019]I found a casket [00:30.539]Entirely of glass- [00:32.451]No, it's unbreakable. [00:35.629]Inside- don't ask it- [00:37.759]A maiden, alas, [00:39.976]Just as unwakable- [00:41.675]What unmistakable agony! [00:45.727]Is the way always barred? [00:49.379]She has skin white as snow- [00:51.199]Did you learn her name? [00:52.635]No, [00:53.150]There's a dwarf standing guard. [00:56.278]Agony! [00:58.566]Such that Princes must weep! [01:02.089] [01:03.517]Always in thrall most [01:05.370]To anything almost, [01:07.403]Or something asleep. [01:10.519]If it were not for the thicket- [01:12.208]A thicket's no trick. [01:14.028]Is it thick? [01:14.936]It's the thickest. [01:16.032]The quickest [01:16.907]Is pick it [01:17.783]Apart with a stick- [01:19.110]yes, but even one prick- [01:20.803]It's my thing about blood. [01:22.876]Well, it's sick! [01:23.707]It's no sicker [01:24.650]Than you thing with dwarves. [01:26.500]Dwarfs. [01:27.064]Dwarfs... [01:27.380]Dwarfs are every upsetting. [01:30.813]Not forgetting [01:31.987]The tasks unacheivable, [01:33.927]Mountains unscalable- [01:35.734]If it's conceivable [01:37.473]But unavailable, [01:39.211]Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- [01:42.920]Agony! [01:43.957]Misery! [01:44.909]Not to know what you miss. [01:49.203]While they lie there for years- [01:50.676]And you cry on their biers- [01:52.396]What unbearable bliss! [01:55.988]Agony [01:58.049]That can cut like a knife! [02:01.700] [02:03.339]Ah, well, back to my wife...
