It's Quiet Uptown |
ANGELICA |
There are moments that the words don’t reach. |
There is suffering too terrible to name. |
You hold your child as tight as you can |
and push away the unimaginable. |
The moments when you’re in so deep, |
it feels easier to just swim down. |
ANGELICA/ENSEMBLE |
The Hamiltons move uptown |
and learn to live with the unimaginable. |
HAMILTON |
I spend hours in the garden. |
I walk alone to the store, |
and it’s quiet uptown. |
I never liked the quiet before. |
I take the children to church on Sunday, |
a sign of the cross at the door, |
and I pray. |
That never used to happen before. |
ANGELICA AND WOMEN |
If you see him in the street, walking by |
himself, talking to himself, |
have pity. |
HAMILTON |
Philip, you would like it uptown. |
It’s quiet uptown. |
ANGELICA AND WOMEN |
He is working through the unimaginable. |
ALL M EN (EXCEPT HAMILTON) |
His hair has gone grey. |
He passes every day. |
They say he walks the length of the city. |
HAMILTON |
You knock me out, I fall apart. |
COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND |
ELIZA) |
Can you imagine? |
HAMILTON |
Look at where we are. |
Look at where we started. |
I know I don’t deserve you, Eliza. |
But hear me out. |
That would be enough. |
If I could spare his life, |
If I could trade his life for mine, |
he’d be standing here right now |
and you would smile, and that would be |
enough. |
I don’t pretend to know |
the challenges we’re facing. |
I know there’s no replacing what we’ve lost |
and you need time. |
But I’m not afraid, |
I know who I married. |
Just let me stay here by your side, |
That would be enough. |
COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND |
ELIZA) |
If you see him in the street, walking by her |
side, talking by her side, have pity. |
HAMILTON |
Eliza, do you like it uptown? |
It’s quiet uptown. |
COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND |
ELIZA) |
He is trying to do the unimaginable. |
See them walking in the park, long after dark, |
taking in the sights of the city. |
HAMILTON |
Look around, look around, Eliza. |
COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND |
ELIZA) |
They are trying to do the unimaginable. |
ANGELICA |
There are moments that the words don’t reach. |
There is a grace too powerful to name. |
We push away what we can never understand, |
we push away the unimaginable. |
They are standing in the garden, |
Alexander by Eliza’s side. |
She takes his hand. |
ELIZA |
It’s quiet uptown. |
COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON AND |
ELIZA) |
Forgiveness. |
Can you imagine? |
Forgiveness. |
Can you imagine? |
If you see him in the street, walking by her |
side, talking by her side, have pity. |
They are going through the unimaginable. |
