Three beds appear downstage. One, a hospital bed, is occupied by
ANGEL. ROGER sits on another, JOANNE on the third. MIMI
approaches ROGER, and then appears to be in a hurry.) ROGER
Where were you? MIMI
I'm sorry I'm late. ROGER (interrupting)
I know. You lost your keys. No, you went for a walk, you had to help
your mother. (As he picks up the guitar) And how's Benny? I'm gonna
work upstairs tonight. I should tell you
MIMI
I should .
Wait.
Never mind. ROGER
Happy Spring (ROGER exits. MIMI pulls out a justit across the room. As she sings the following, a stylized "musical
beds" is choreographed around her, during the bridge of the song,
COLLINS carries ANGEL from the hospital bed and ROGER takes his
place. By the end of the song, MAUREEN and JOANNE are reunited,
as are ROGER and MIMI. COLLINS and ANGEL have lain down
together, where ANGEL dies.) Without you
MIMI
The ground thaws
The rain falls
The grass grows Without you
The seeds root
The flowers bloom The children play
The poets dream
The stars gleam
Without you
The eagles fly
The earth turns The sun burns
But I die
Without you The breeze warms
Without you The girl smiles
The cloud moves
Without you
The tides change
The boys run
The oceans crash The crowds roar
The days soar
The babies cry
Without you The moon glows
The river flows
But I die Without you
ROGER
The world revives MIMI
Colors renew BOTH
But I know blue
Only blue
Lonely blue
Within me, blue
MIMI
Without you The hand gropes
Without you
The pulse beats
The ear hears ROGER
Without you
The eyes gaze
The legs walk
The lungs breathe The mind churns
BOTH
The heart yearns
The tears dry
Without you Life goes on
But I'm gone
Cause I die ROGER
Without you MIMI
Without you ROGER
Without you BOTH
Without you.
