Eustice & Isadore Paroles

it must lead somewhere.
I'd like to go somewhere.

We could go for a look-about in the attics and the closed rooms
find diaries and letters of long-dead distant lovers.
It'd be just like when we were children sneaking all around
we wouldn't make a sound;
they'd beat us black and blue if we were found,
but they can't touch us now!

"Izzy, don't mean to be a bore
but really Isadore.
You know these grey days make me blue.
I don't know what to do.
No...there's nothing I want to do."

Scene II
The dull and dreary day becomes a dark and stormy night.
"Eustice, we could go outside and bottle fireflies.
Fairy lamps burn bright We could go to the lichyard and see what there's to see.
Maybe a cabal meets underneath the banyan trees.
It'd be just like when we were children sneaking all around
we wouldn't make a sound;
we thought they'd reach out from their graves and drag us down,
but they don't scare us now!"

"Izzy, don't mean to be a drag
but I'll do no such thing;
I'm staying in this chair.
I'd probably break my neck
falling in an open grave
or catch some horrid, fatal ache."

"Oh Eustice, come with me; come outside.
It'll be all right."
