Blue River
Jill:
So Marjolein decides to surprise Sarah and to try
To talk to her and pacify the growing strain
The next evening then she heads to the dark theater Jill had said
Where some performance is just getting underway

And the dream my friends, expires again
Oh the light descends upon the stage again

Marjolein:
Sarah? Hey, it’s me. Wow, what’s going on here?

Sarah:
Marjolein! What are you doing here?

Marjolеin:
I thought to come, maybe have a chat
Stop thе tension that is growing that
I think is hurting us I thought that you
Maybe just need someone to listen to you

I thought that if we maybe talk it out
We could heal the rift and calm the whole thing down
I still love you and want to be your friend
Be a crew, a family again
Sarah (trying to think fast):
Huh… Hmm.... Tsk… Ok… Uhm... ok...

I’ve thought and changed my mind
I think Lloyd was probably right
And I’m trying now to build
Build you all a big surprise

And I need, and I need, and I need you to help me

You startled me but hey
I’m real glad you went and came
I need someone here who knows
And I respect you Marjolein

And I need, and I need, and I need you to help me

I need you please to try
To see the show from the inside
It’s so gentle how I tried
To make the journey really kind

And I need, and I need, and I need you to help me

And you know what to do
The only one that I know, who has done this is you
If you don’t like it shout
A safeword and then I will stop and let you on out
The safeword we’ll say is yellow. Is that ok?
Say it and I will stop and call it a day

I really appreciate this, Marjolein. I’m so nervous showing this to Lloyd and Raven, but it’s really benign and gentle. This version is called Blue River. I really think you’ll like it
Ok, ready? The cast is all in place
Ok, ready, set... Go
