The Dark I Know Well

(album: Spring Awakening (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 2006)

[Martha:]
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well

You say, "Time for bed now, child"
Mom just smiles that smile
Just like she never saw me
Just like she never saw me
So, I leave, wanting just to hide
Knowing deep inside
You are coming to me
You are coming to me

You say all you want is just a kiss good night
Then you hold me and you whisper, "Child, the Lord won't mind
It's just you and me
Child, you're a beauty
God, it's good, the loving ain't it good tonight?
You ain't seen nothing yet, gonna treat you right
It's just you and me
Child, you're a beauty"

[Ilse:]
I don't scream, though I know it's wrong
I just play along
I lie there and breathe
Lie there and breathe
I wanna be strong
I want the world to find out
That you're dreaming on me
Me and my "beauty"

[Martha & Ilse:]
Me and my "beauty"

You say all you want is just a kiss good night
Then you hold me and you whisper, "Child, the Lord won't mind
It's just you and me
Child, you're a beauty
God, it's good, the loving ain't it good tonight?
You ain't seen nothing yet, gonna teach you right
It's just you and me
Child, you're a beauty"

There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well...
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well...
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well...
There is a part I can't tell
About the dark I know well...
