ALEC
YOU KNOW I OFTEN DREAM OF IT – OF LIVING THERE
SOMEDAY.
JUST WATCH AND SEE, BEFORE WE’RE OLD, I’M GOING TO FIND A WAY
I KNOW YOU THINK THESE WORDS SOUND BRASH, BUT WIPE AWAY THAT GRIN...
GAVIN
NO, I BELIEVE YOU... WHY NOT KNOCK... PERHAPS
THEY’LL LET US IN!
ALEC
WE SWEAT FROM DAWN TO DUSK, WE WORK THE FIELDS ALL
DAY
THE DUST OF HUNGER STICKS IN OUR THROAT –
WHILE IN THE CASTLE THERE, A WORLD OF PRIVILEGE WHERE
THEY LIVE IN SPLENDOR – ACROSS THE MOAT.
GAVIN
WELL SAID INDEED, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT’S JUST THE
WAY IT IS.
SO WHY NOT MAKE THE BEST OF IT-
ALEC
TO END UP JUST LIKE THIS?
SHATTERED AND ABANDONED AFTER TURNING ‘TIL WE’RE OLD?
GAVIN
IF WE DON’T GET THIS WORK DONE SOON, WE’LL FIND
OUR DINNER COLD!
ALEC
WE BLEED FROM BIRTH TO DEATH, WE NEVER TAKE A
BREATH
THAT IS NOT STRAINED... UNDER A LOAD.
WHILE IN THE CASTLE THERE, A WORLD SO SWEET AND FAIR
LIES OUT OF REACH – ACROSS THE MOAT.
BROCK
STOP IT SON, YOU DREAM TOO MUCH; BEST STICK TO
WHAT YOU KNOW.
MAKE A LIFE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, THE REST... JUST LET IT GO!
ALEC
SO OFTEN DO I DREAM OF IT – OF LIVING THERE
SOMEDAY.
GAVIN
I’LL WAGER THAT YOU’LL DO IT TOO – I KNOW YOU’LL
FIND A WAY!
ALEC
ENOUGH’S ENOUGH, JUST WATCH AND SEE, I’M GOING TO
DO IT SOON.
GAVIN
AND I’LL BE THERE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE, TO PLAY A
PRETTY TUNE...
THE SUN IN
SETTING, SNEAKS FROM THIS VALLEY
ADRIFT ON HIGHWAYS OF AMBER LIGHT,
WHILE TIRED PILGRIMS SEEK WARMTH AND SAFETY
WITHIN THE ARMS OF SULTRY NIGHT.
