Opening Sequence
Gardener: What?... Where am I?
Where am I?
Fate One: In the Lost Garden, which echoes inhabit, where a dream may be tangible if you can grab it.
Gardener: How did I get here?
Fate Two: It doesn’t matter how you came,
Lost things come like moths to flame.
Gardener: What am I doing here?
Fate Three: Many have stopped in for a brief time, never finding their reason, nor rhyme.
Fate One: But not you I don’t suppose.
Fate Two: You’re not just here for a brief repose.
Fate Three: That’s not how this story goes.
Gardener: What? Who are you?
Fate One: Who are you? What have you lost?
What’s just buried beneath the frost?
Fate Two: This is the place to learn. You’ll see, how a small seed becomes a great tree.
Fate Three: All the things you need to find, Are with the garden intertwined.
Gardener: I don’t understand! When will you give me a straight answer?
All Fates: Time past and time future, what might have been and what has been point to one end, which is always present.
Gardener: WHY AM I HERE?
Fate One: We’ll lead you through each garden gate.
Fate Two: Some wind and twist while some run straight.
Fate Three: But only you can choose your fate.
Gardener: Great. Okay, well, then where do we go first?
Introduction To Fountain
Fate One: Round the corner. Through the first gate,
Into our first world, shall we follow
The deception of the thrush? Into our first world.
Along the empty alley, into the box circle,
To look down into the drained pool.
And the pool was filled with water out of sunlight,
Then a cloud passed, and the pool was empty.
Lindsey Matheis - *Photosensitive & Loud Sound Warning*
<Rain falling>
<birds hipping, leaves rustle in the wind>
<piano tuning>
It went like this
Once, the ink dripped out of all of the journals
Seeping out of the letters like it couldn’t help itself
Flooding first the cellar
And the next floor
And the next
It poured from the windows making us swim in it
This is how time travel works
The leaking the smearing of the past into the now
Stealing what it wants
Gaining speed
Its not personal
And so I put out the lamp light for the moths
Then I let the bath run over when I wasn’t home
Then I put a tapestry of needles in the room full of balloons
Willing change to take its place
I walked around with my knapsack full of porcelain teacups, rubber duckies and unanswerable questions
Completely ridiculous, completely imperative
What would I do now
And I tumbled about in a kaleidoscope I built
Spinning with my eyes open
Both loosing and becoming overwhelmed by my senses
How long,
how long would I keep watching the rearview mirror for the road in front of me
Waiting for the inky rain to hush up
For someone to shove in and mop it dry
For the neon sign to flicker quick on and read
Go… Enter here now
Then I just woke up
And put all the pulpy ink back into the letters
And put the letters back into the journals
And put the journals back into the box
Then I stood up
Put on my knapsack full of porcelain teacups and rubber duckies and unanswerable questions
Walked outside
And stood
in the clear
clear rain
<piano music plays, a typewriter is heard, while a clock ticks along>
Transition 1
That was beautiful. I feel like I need to be on my guard and be wary of sirens in these waters.
Akania Ghosh
One heart, one mind
One chance of happiness
One slip, one fall – it’s gone
Tides rise, boats sink – before they leave the shore
What a fatal flaw, to want more
Where to now
Where do I go, I don’t know
One small step, and one deep breath
Will hold me above water
With no one here to guide me
Will I drown
Just one small step and one deep breath
Can hold me above water
And maybe that’s enough
For now
Two hands, Two eyes
Two words you need to say
Two words that stop my heart
Can’t see, can’t speak
Legs under water
The riptide is pulling me
Where to now
Where do I go, I don’t know
One small step and one deep breath
Will hold me above water
With no one here to guide me
Will I drown
Just one small step and one deep breath
Can hold me above water
And maybe that’s enough
And maybe that’s enough
And maybe that’s enough
For now
For now

Wow! Wait, does this fountain run into the ocean? This garden really doesn’t make any kind of geographical sense, but now I really want to go swimming. Or maybe surfing…
Andy Talen
Ohhhh, ahhhh…
Little surfer little one
Made my heart come all undone
Do you love me, do you surfer girl
Surfer girl my little surfer girl
I have watched you on the shore
Standing by the ocean's roar
Do you love me do you surfer girl

We could ride the surf together
While our love would grow
In my Woody I would take you everywhere I go
So I say from me to you

<Guitar Musical interlude for 50 seconds >
There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

Song: Water Fountain by Tune-Yards
No water in the water fountain
No side on the sidewalk
If you say Old Molly Hare, whatcha doin' there?
Nothing much to do when you're going nowhere
Woohaw! Woohaw! Gotcha
We're gonna get the water from your house (your house)
No water in the water fountain, No wood in the woodstock
And you say old Molly Hare, Whatcha doin' there?
Nothing much to do when you're going nowhere
Woohaw! Woohaw! Gotcha
We're gonna get the water from your house (your house)
Nothing feels like dying like the drying of my skin and lawn
Why do we just sit here while they watch us wither til we're gone?
I can't seem to feel it, I can't seem to feel it
I can't seem to feel I'll kneel
I'll kneel, I'll kneel the cold steel
You will ride the whip, You'll ride the crack
No use in fighting back
You'll sledge the hammer if there's no one else to take the flak
I can't seem to feel it, I can't seem to find it
Your fist clenched my neck, We're neck and neck and neck...
No water in the water fountain, No phone in the phone booth
And you say old Molly Hare, Whatcha doin' there
Jump back, jump back Daddy shot a bear
Woohaw! Woohaw! Gotcha
We're gonna get the water from your house (your house)
I saved up all my pennies and I gave them to this special guy
When he had enough of them, he bought himself a cherry pie
He gave me a dollar, A blood-soaked dollar
I cannot get the spot out but, But It's okay it still works in the store
Greasy man come and dig my well
Life without your water is a burning hell
Serve me up with your home-grown rice
Anything make me shit nice
Se pou zanmi mwen, se pou zanmi mwen
And the two-pound chicken tastes better with friends
A two-pound chicken tastes better with two
And I know where to find you so
Listen to the words I said, let it sink into your head
A vertigo round-and-round-and-round
Now I'm in your bed, how did I get ahead? Whoop!
Thread your fingers through my hair, Fingers through my hair
Give me a dress, give me a press
I give a thing a caress, Would-ja, would-ja, would-ja
Listen to the words I say! Sound like a floral bouquet
A lyrical round-and-round and round and round, Okay!
Take a picture it'll last all day, hey
Your fingers through my hair, Do it 'til you disappear
Gimme your head, Gimme your head, Off with his head!
Hey hey hey hey hey
No water in the water fountain, Floral bouquet
A lyrical round-and-round and round and round
No side on the sidewalk
Take a picture it'll last all day, hey
And you say old Molly Hare, Do it till you disappear
Woohaw! Woohaw!
We're gonna get the water from your house, your house
We're gonna get the water from your house, your house
We're gonna get the water from your house, your house
We're gonna get the water from your house, your house

Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake-up in the morning, and I wonder
How everything's the same as it was
No, I can't understand, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said, Good-bye
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It happened

<Sung> You cannot quit me so quickly
There's no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you love
The space between
The tears we cry
Is the laughter that keeps us coming back for more
The space between
The wicked lies we tell
and hope to keep
safe from the pain
But will I hold you again?
Will I hold?
Look at us spinning out in the madness of a roller coaster
You know you went off like the devil in the church
In the middle of a crowded room
All we can do my love
Is hope we don't take this ship down
The space between
Where you smile and hide
Is where you'll find me if I get to go
The space between
The bullets in our firefight
Is where I'll be hiding
waiting for you
The rain that falls
Splashed in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window to your room
The space between
Our wicked lies
Is Where we hope to keep
safe from pain
Take my hand
'Cause we're walking out
of here – ohhhh
Right out of here
Love is all we need dear

<Sung> I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter
remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfill my need
A lonely place to be
Until I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest
love of all
Is happening to me…
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
And if, by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love….

Fate Two: The unheard music hidden in the shrubbery, and the unseen eyebeam crossed, for the roses had the look of flowers that are looked at.
Cameron Amadeus
<Sung> When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
<Voice> What is radical self-love?
Well, Radical self-love is the lifelong commitment to the belief
That your body, size, race, sexual orientation are assets
That don’t need fixing, yet are advantages that you should build your life around
To me it’s all of those things. But also, its
Looking in the mirror once a week
And saying, I am the most important person in the world - to me
I accept that person, I admire that person
And I will do everything in my power to see that person’s dreams come true
It sounds simple, but ask yourself
When’s the last time you said it
Can you say it
Why is it hard to say these things to ourselves?
Well simply, it is because
We don’t believe it
<Sung> The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

Kyra Sims
Voice: There are crushes I will always have
Some people without realizing it
have made little nests inside of me
and I carry them around unknowingly
like a large mammal on the savannah
eating grass and mating with others
then I see them again or hear their name
and my eyes glaze over and my lips become a squiggly line
and I blush
and each time it happens, it’s such a special treat
like finding a delicious candy in your pocket
with every lovely qualities each person has enter my mind
and the warmth from those thoughts fills me up
from top to bottom
these forever crushes are a gift from my subconscious
the part of my brain that knows a good soul when it sees one
and wraps the memory of them in fine cloth
and cedar chests
precious items to cherish always
So if you’re ever feeling down about yourself
Just know that someone out there might have this kind of crush on you
And every now and then they think about you
And feel warm
Transition 8

You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When I come through the door
At the end of the day
I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin' me late at night
When it's good for you babe
And you're feeling alright
Well, you just roll over
And you turn out the light
You don't bring me flowers anymore
It used to be so natural
Used to be
To talk about forever
But used to be's don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
'Til we sweep them away
And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I learned how to love
And I learned how to lie
So you think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
You don't bring me flowers
Anymore…
Well, you'd think I could learn how to tell you goodbye,
you don't say you need me, and you don't sing me love songs
You don't bring me flowers

Put on your hat and clothing
Let's take a trip and lose our minds
Let's go walking through the park today
I love Sunday Mondays any day
When the skies are blue and it's not grey
I'll take Sunday Mondays any every day
Sometimes it's fun
To just escape and run
And leave the troubled world behind
So let's get lost
And get our juices flowing
And let's go see what we can find
Let's go walking through the park today
I love Sunday Mondays any day
When the skies are blue and it's not grey

<Sung> Hm
The opposite
The opposite of love is fear
I'm still trying to get, hm
Used to how the former feels
'Cause it feels so new
You think you know me
Wait 'til I open up to you
If I want pure love
Must stop acting so tough
I give a little, you give a little
We get a little, sentimental
If I want your love
Ooh, got to open up
I give a little, you give a little
We get a little, sentimental
A deeper way
A deeper way to understand
To understand the line between
Who you are and who I am, baby
'Cause to let you in
Is true compromise
Not just the friction of our skin
If I want pure love
Must stop acting so tough
I give a little, you give a little
We get a little, sentimental
If I want your love
Ooh, got to open up
I give a little, you give a little
We get a little, experimental
Well, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess
I could, I guess, I could, I guess
Guess I oughta to clean up these bloody fists if it's alright
And yes, I guess, I guess, I guess
It's for the best, it's for the best
Guess you really got to call your own bluff if you want pure love
If I want pure love
Mmh, ohh-ooh, ohh
If I want pure love
Must stop acting so tough
I give a little, you give a little
We get a little, sentimental
If I want your love
Ooh, got to open up
I give a little, you give a little
We get a little, sentimental, If I want your love
And if I want your love, if I want your love
I want your love, I want your love, ay
I want your love, I want your love now
I want your love, I want your love, I give a little, you give a little
I want your love, we give a little, sentimental
Outro of Rose Garden
Fate 2: plant this seed and it will show
how to make the green things grow
Song of Purple Summer ** Loud Sound Warning **
<crickets chirp>
Gardener: And all shall fade
The flowers of spring
The world and all the sorrow
At the heart of everything
But still, it stays
The butterfly sings
And opens purple summer
With the flutter of its wings
The earth will wave with corn
The graveside choir will mourn
And mares will neigh with
Stallions that they mate, foals they've borne
And all shall know the wonder of purple summer
And yet I wait
The swallow brings
A song too hard to follow
That no one else can sing
The fences sway
The porches swing
The clouds begin to thunder
Crickets wander, murmuring
The earth will wave with corn
The graveside choir will mourn
And mares will neigh with
Stallions that they mate, foals they've borne
And all shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of purple summer
All shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of purple summer
All shall know the wonder of purple summer
<deep ominous tone, thunder cracks>
Intro to Hedge Maze
Fate Three: Mistress Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow?
Not so well she said, see the lily's dead, pull it up and out you go.
It's a maze this garden, it's a maze of ways, meant to lead a soul astray.
Take a left and then turning left again, how a soul can find the way.
Welcome to Campfire
<Voice in echo, slowly becoming louder and clearer>
Song: The Labyrinth Song By Asaf Avidan
… I am coming, I just need to work this maze inside my head
I came here like you asked, I killed the beast, that part of me is dead
Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my head
If only I'd have listened to you when you offered me that thread
Everything is quiet and l'm not exactly sure
If it really was your voice, I heard or maybe it’s a door,
That's closing up some hero's back on his track to be a man
Can it be that all us heroes have a path, but not a plan?
Oh Ariadne, I am coming, I just need to work this maze inside my mind
I wish I had that string, it's so damn dark, I think I'm going blind
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my mind
For the life of me, I don't remember what I came to find
Now tell me, princess, are you strolling through your sacred grove?
And is the moon still shining? You're the only thing I'm thinking of
The sword you gave me, it was heavy, I just had to lay it down
It's funny how defenseless I can feel here when there's nobody around
Oh Ariadne, I am coming, I just need to work this maze inside my heart
I was blind, I thought you'd bind me, but you offered me a chart
Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my heart
If I'd known that you could guide me, I'd have listened from the start
Somewhere up there midnight strikes, I think I hear the fall
Of little drops of water, magnified against the barren wall
It's more a feeling than a substance, but there's nobody around
And when I'm in here all alone, it's just enough to let me drown
Oh Ariadne, I was coming, but I failed you in this labyrinth of my past
Ariadne, let me sing you and we'll make each other last
Ariadne, I have failed you in this labyrinth of my past
Ariadne, let me sing you
and we'll make each other last
<guitar strumming>
Ariadne, let me sing… and we'll make each other last
Transition 1
Ok wait, what were those directions? Left, then left, then left again?
Cristina Pitter ** Photosensitive & Sensory Sound Warning **
Were you pinning for this?
Were you crying for this?
Were you dying for this?
Escape, Escape… from it all
Escape, escape, and fall
This place is no longer as it was
Cold damp barren
Save for the incessant sparrows call
A warning felt in the marrow
Spreads to the blood
Decay drips down the walls strangles the light
Sickly sweet perfumes creep into the air
No blossoms live here, and yet
The nostrils sting
<thunder cracks>
<hurried tone> Where is it, where is it, where does it live?
Where is it
That smell soups in the skin
Swirling in honeysuckle and rancid fruit
where is it, where does it live
where is it
<thunder cracks>
Nothing found, only felt as everything blacks out
Caught in the static
Wires wrapped round the tongue
Thick… heavy… lingering… stuck
What is this, this secernate sweat
<devious laughter> what is this place
What is this place
<whispered> get out, get out
<sung> follow me / you know what to do, you know what to do/out
Follow me/ Deep down is where we’ll go
Follow me/Sinking in to the floor
The darkest unbridled/ deep down is where you’ll go-
Follow me down/ Down below is where no one follows
Come with me/ No one takes ahold
And follow me/ Darkness holds…
and doesn’t let go
Transition 2
Fate Three: In a dim light: neither daylight
Investing form with lucid stillness
Turning shadow into transient beauty
With slow rotation suggesting permanence
Nor darkness to purify the soul
Lexxe **Photosensitive, Alcohol/Drug Content Warning**
You don't know what's in store
But you know what you're here for
Close your eyes, lay yourself beside me
Hold tight for this ride
We don't need no protection
Come alone, we don't need attention
Open your hand, take a glass
Don't be scared, I'm right here
Even though, you don't roll
Trust me girl, you wanna be high for this
Take it off, you want it off
'Cause I know what you're feeling
It's okay, girl, I feel it too
Let it be, baby breathe
I swear I'm right here
We'll be good, I promise, we'll be so good, ayy
Open your hand, take a glass
Don't be scared, I'm right here
Even though, you don't roll
Trust me girl, you wanna be high for-
Sweet dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree
travel the world and the seven seas everybody's looking for something
Some of us want to use you, some of us want to be used by you
Some of us want to abuse you, and you'll wanna be high for this

I really hope I don’t come across any creatures; I think I would scream if a rat ran across the path.

Transition 4
Ok, so apparently not all rats are bad, some are quite cute, and pretty good piano players! I wonder who else is in this maze...
Austin Goodwin & Mallory Gracenin ** Photosensitive Warning **
Phillip: Hi Im Phillip
Phillis: Hi I’m Phillis
Phillip: And we’re The Phils
Phillis: We are The Phils.
We’re here to make a connection with you and your future soul plant.
Phillip: Your SOUL Plant
Both: <In a slow deep overemphasized voice> Phil… you… up.
Phillis: First and foremost, we should introduce you to our soul plant
Phillip: This is Bartholomew
<In a slow deep overemphasized voice> He’s soft tender and requires little attention.
Like me.
Phillis: This is Nacho.
<In a slow deep overemphasized voice> Not… yo… plant
<Kiss sound>
Now there are three types of plant keepers, Isn’t that right Phillip
Phillip: It’s true
Phyllis: There are, selfish humans
<hiss sound from Phillip>
Middle of the roads and the empaths… like us
Phillip: <whispered> like us
Phillis: If your selfish, just get a snake plant.
Phillip: No Light, No Love
<In a slow deep overemphasized voice> No problem
Phillip: If things aren’t going well, you have time to, sort of, negotiate what you need.
And what your plant needs. And you can develop a really beautiful relationship.
And you just feel that. Hmmmmm
Phillis: And they love getting all your negative toxic thoughts breathed so heavily onto their leaves.
<breathes deeply>
Phillip: <Whispered in a deep and quiet angry tone> I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.
My mother told me at age 10 that vegetables can hear themselves being eaten.
<In a slow deep overemphasized voice> think about that… think about that
<crunching sounds>
Phillip: So let’s talk about checking soil. Phillis.
No, two fingers.
<In a slow deep overemphasized voice> Always two fingers.
What do you feel?
Phillis: <In a slow deep overemphasized voice> It’s WET
Phillip: The skin to skin contact between a plant and plant mother is really important.
It’s very similar to that of a human child except that you actually have to do it every day.
And you just want to hold it against your chest.
Deep hardy breaths.
The most important thing you should get from this in
<In a slow deep overemphasized voice> The Lost Garden… You can be
Found, When you find yourself a plant.
<whispered> don’t touch me
Phillip <sung> need someone to turn to…
Both: cause your feeling so alone…
Phillip: If you need someone to talk to
Both: Cause your mother won’t pick up the phone
Phillip: Just call,
Both: 866-Phil-and-Phil
Phillip: we’ll give you want you need
Because every plant relationship, starts with that one special seed
Just call..
Both: 866-Phil-and-Phil
Both: 866-Phil-and-Phil
Both: 866-Phil-and-Phil
Phillip: <whispered> we’ll give you want you need, a seed
Voice: 866-Phil-and-Phil is not a real number, please DM @866PhilAndPhil on Instagram
After 24 hours they’ll disappear.

Fate 3: Time and the bell have buried the day. The black cloud carries the sun away. Will the sunflower turn to us, will the clematis stray down, bend to us? Tendril and spray, clutch and cling?
Von Smith
My house is made of flowers
The warm winds carpet the floor
Whenever there's spring showers
I open a rainbow door
The frog, the toad, the turtle
All make my home their home
My curtains are crape mottle
And the fireflies fly neath my dome
I've never had money
And I'll never need none
The moon is my lamp
And my clock is the sun
My home's a home
For all those things
What grows, what flies, what sings
If it all sounds tempting
And it do you entice
I show to the heavens
That it do make it nice
Hmmmmm,
Won't you come live with me
I'd come live with me
If I were you
if I were you!

I don’t know what that was all about! This statue is kinda terrifying.
Lily Okwell ** Sensory Sound Warning, Alcohol/Drug Content **
Voice: The great pandemic was almost over
A year quarantining sitting in her room watching Netflix
Diddling herself and drinking too much wine
Soon life would be coming back to a new normal
And what did she have to show for herself
No revelations or changes of great consequence
So, she decided then and there
Under the full flower moon in Sagittarius
Under the Lunar eclipse
That she would gather her palo santo
Her sage and crystals
And she would manifest
Yes, she would baptize herself in bath salts
And from within this witchcraft
She would become a new woman…
<deep ominous tone, music slowly speeding up>
Still at home, forgot what we were waiting for
Is there still a pandemic running wild
Well, not in Florida, Arizona or Texas
But, the new normal is approaching really fast
And, I…I… I’m scared
Will I have to wear makeup, and pants again
So I turn myself to face me
And I said,
Damn Bitch, you look old
It’s time to smudge and charge my crystals
Take a bath and manifest
Cha, Cha, Changes
Manifest a change,
Cha, Cha, Changes
I’m gonna be a rich woman
Cha, Cha, Changes
Manifest a change,
Cha, Cha, Changes
Gonna be a different woman
Time may change me, but I can’t trace time
Strange… and palo santo…
oh changes are taking… place I’m going to
<scream>
Turn and face the strange
Cha, Cha, Changes
Oh look out boys, I’m coming through
Cha, Cha, Changes
Turn and face the strange
Cha, Cha, Changes
We’re all a million years older
Time may change me, but I can’t trace time
I said that time may change me
but be specific when you manifest
She looked at herself in the mirror
Transformed, evolved
A little bit pruney and wrinkly
And while she wasn’t exactly the new woman, she expected
She decided to love herself for the bad bitch she was
Transition 8
I wonder if there are any bodies anywhere in this maze? It seems big enough I wouldn’t be surprised if someone died here.
A.E. Kerien – No Body No Crime
He did it, He did it
Este's a friend of mine
We meet up every Tuesday night for dinner and a glass of wine
Este's been losing sleep
Her husband's acting different and it smells like infidelity
She says, "That ain't my merlot on his mouth"
"That ain't my jewelry on our joint account"
No, there ain't no doubt
I think I'm gonna call him out
She says
"I think he did it but I just can't prove it"
I think he did it but I just can't prove it
I think he did it but I just can't prove it
No, no body, no crime
But I ain't letting up until the day I die
No, no, I think he did it I think he did it
No, no, I think he did it I think he did it
Este wasn't there
Tuesday night at Olive Garden, at her job, or anywhere
He reports his missing wife
And I noticed when I passed his house his truck has got some brand-new tires
And his mistress moved in
Sleeps in Este's bed and everything
No, there ain't no doubt
Somebody's gotta catch him out
I think he did it but I just can't prove it
I think he did it but I just can't prove it
I think he did it but I just can't prove it
No, no body, no crime
But I ain't letting up until the day I die
No, no, I think he did it
No, no, I think he did it
Good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I was fifteen
And I've cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene
Good thing Este's sister's gonna swear she was with me ("She was with me dude")
Good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policy
They think she did it but they just can't prove it
They think she did it but they just can't prove it
She thinks I did it but she just can't prove it
No, no body, no crime
I wasn't letting up until the day he
No, no body, no crime
I wasn't letting up until the day he
No, no body, no crime
I wasn't letting up until the day he died

<clicking of projector>
<deep ominous tones>
Voice: Once upon a time, a little girl looked into the sun
It blinded her
The thought of embracing the end of love
Her mind flew far away to be with her love,To be free
She didn’t want to breath in the real, anymore
Then a whisper from the wind breezed by the shores secret
It surrounded her body with warmth
Her mind with peace
Would it return…
<inaudible sung words– overlayed with spoken word>
Filled with commotion
Your mind can’t explain, it drives you insane
Fool at fortune, you drink a lethal potion
So, people never see
behind your mask there’s emotion
despite what you think
your beauty makes heaven cry
no need to drink
your beauty makes heaven cry
before you can think
your body moves past your mind
heaven, heaven,
heaven cry
<inaudible sung words– overlayed with spoken word>
Voice: The transparent nature of the whisper
Left her with hope
A memory that would travel with her
Past her dust and bones
The whisper remains when I wake up each day
The whisper remains when I close my eyes
The Whisper remains reminding me that I matter
That I matter
<applause>
I matter, and the whisper remains
<sung> Give me strength
Give me light
Give me wisdom through time
Let my soul
My soul replenish, my mind
Give me purpose through the pain
Let past, the past remain
In my heart
To inspire my dreams
<sounds of loud drone and heart beating>
And we reach beyond our mind…
<blows out candle>
Transition 10
How do I get out of here? I’ve taken so many turns! I was already lost when I arrived, the maze is unnecessary!
Ok. let’s try this one more time, I’m sure I can find my way. (Deep breath) Left, and left, and left again.
Amy Jo Jackson ** Photosensitive Warning**
Look, I'm standing trembling before you
I would much more than your sex?
You can scream as loud as my last one
But you can't claim innocence
Oh God, could it be the weather?
Oh God, why are you here?
If love isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Hand me my leather
You could just pretend that you love me
The night would lose all sense of fear
But why do I need you to love me
When you can hold what I hold dear?
Oh God, could it be the weather?
Oh God, are you here?
If love isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Hand me my leather
<heavy and hard piano music>
I almost ran over an angel
He had a nice big fat cigar
"In a sense," he said, "you're alone here
So if you jump, you best jump far"
Oh God, could it be the weather?
Oh God, why are you here?
If love isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Ah, oh God, could it be the weather?
Oh God, it's all very clear
If love isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Hand me my leather
Dah Dah Dah, eeye, Duh duh duh, eeye eeye
Outro of Hedge Maze
Fate Three: plant this seed and it will show
how to make the green things grow
Fable ** Sensory Sound Warning **
Gardener: What happens now? Where do I go?
Fate One: Time has come around and spring is due.
Fate Two: Stay here or move along to somewhere new.
Fate Three: The choice is yours, Is this the place for you?
Gardener:
You can look in the forest
For a secret field
For a golden arrow
For a prince to appear
For a fable of love that will carry you
To a moon on a hill
To a hidden stream
A lagoon and a red horizon dream
Silhouette
Sail away from time forever
To a valley beyond the setting sun
Where waters shine and horses run
Where there's a world that waits for you
But while you look you are changing, turning
You're a well of wishes
You're a fallen apple
No!
No!
Love's a fake
Love's a fable
Just a painting
On a ceiling
Just a children's fairy tale
Still, you have to look
And look, and look, and look, and look
And look, and look, and look,
For the eyes
On a bridge in the pouring rain
Not the eyes but the part you can't explain
For the arms you could fall into forever
For the joy that you thought you'd never know
For here at last away you go
To a world that waits for you
If you find in the world
In the wide, wide world
That somewhere sees
That somewhere knows you
Love
Love
Love if you can oh my friends,
Love if you can and be loved
May it last forever...
Finale/ Make Our Garden Grow ** Sensory Sound Warning **
All Fates: To be conscious is not to be in time
Fate Two: But only in time can the moment in the rose-garden,
Fate One: The moment in the arbor where the rain beat,
Fate Three: The moment in the draughty church at smokefall
All Fates: Be remembered;
involved with past and future.
Only through time, time is conquered.
<Music Begins>
Fate One: You’ve been a fool. And so have we. This world is full of strife.
Fate Two: But let us try. Before we die, to make some sense of life.
Fate Three: We’re neither pure, nor wise, nor good. We’ll do the best we know.
We’ll build our house, and chop our wood, and make our garden grow.
All Fates: And make our garden grow.
Gardener:
I thought the world,
was lost to me,
for so my soul had said,
But now I’ll teach,
my eyes to see,
things growing from the dead.
We’re neither pure, nor wise, nor good,
We’ll do the best we know
We’ll build our house, and chop our wood,
and make our garden grow.
And make our garden grow.
And make our garden grow
Chourus of Voices: Let dreamers dream what worlds they please,
Those Edens can’t be found,
the sweetest flowers the fairest trees
are grown in solid ground.
We’re neither pure nor wise nor good,
We’ll do the best we know,
We’ll build our house, and chop our wood,
and make our garden grow.
And make our garden grow.

Song: When the swallows come back to Capistrano by The Ink Spots
When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That's the day you promised to come back to me
When you whispered, Farewell, in Capistrano
Twas the day the swallows flew out to sea
All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The happiness you'll bring
Will live in my memory
When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That's the day I pray that you'll come back to me

Song: A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square by Glenn Miller
That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I may be right, I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square…
