Still / The Neva Flows (Reprise)

(album: Anastasia (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 2017)

[Anya:]
Gleb

[Gleb:]
An underhanded girl
An act of desperation
And to my consternation
I let you go

Well, not this time
Paris is no place for a good and loyal Russian

[Anya:]
We are both good and loyal Russians

[Gleb:]
I've come to take you home

[Anya:]
My home is here now

[Gleb:]
Stop playing this game, Anya!
I beg you

[Anya:]
We both know it's not a game Gleb

[Gleb:]
If you really are Anastasia
Do you think history wants you to have lived?

[Anya:]
Yes!
Why don't you?

[Gleb:]
The Romanovs were given everything
And they gave back nothing
Until the Russian people rose up and destroyed them

[Anya:]
All but one
Finish it
I am my father's daughter

[Gleb:]
And I am my father's son!

[Gun clicks]

Finish it I must

My father shook his head and told me not to ask
My mother said he died of shame

[Anya:]
In me you see them
Look at their faces in mine
Hear their screams
Imagine their terrors
See their blood

[Gleb:]
But I believe he did a proud and vital task
And in my father's name

[Anya:]
Do it and I will be with my parents and my brother and sisters
In that cellar in Yekaterinburg all over again

[Gleb:]
The children
Their voices
A man makes painful choices
He does what's necessary, Anya

For Russia, my beauty
What choice but simple duty
We have a past to bury, Anya

[Ensemble:]
And the Neva flows, a new wind blows

[Gleb & Ensemble:]
And soon it will be spring
The leaves unfold, the Tsar lies cold

[Gleb:]
Be careful what a dream may bring!
A revolution is a simple thing!
