Jon English, Sheila Parker & John Parr - Perfect Stranger

★ andruste ★
Please your majesty
He seems barely alive
So little chance of survival
Surely it would be kind of
If he had been taken in ❲?❳
And should king menelaus find out

★ helen ★
Only gods to decide

★ andruste ★
That you’re here without

★ helen ★
If he lives or die

★ andruste ★
Well you know we will be -

★ helen ★
We'll do what we can

★ andruste, spoken ★
Please your majesty

★ helen ★
After all, he's just a man

★ andruste, spoken ★
But i'll be in trouble

★ helen ★
I’m trying to listen
I can feel a heart beating
It's a miracle that he survived
So long in the storm

★ andruste, spoken ★
But what can we do?

★ helen ★
Go fetch the fisherman
We need his help

★ andruste, spoken ★
Yes, ma’am

★ helen ★
We must keep him warm
Somehow i'm sure
I've seen him before
I’ve no idea how this could be
Some perfect stranger
Why does he seems so familiar to me?

★ andruste ★
Just like i told you, he is

★ andruste and helen ★
Some perfect stranger

★ helen ★
Maybe my imagination is fooling me
Foolish me

★ fisherman ★
Your majesty
Please forgive me
I'm not convinced this is right
Last evening i sighted a galley
Searching through the night
And i swear that her colors were trojan
And now we find
From out of nowhere
This poor wretched thing from the sea

★ helen ★
Oh

★ helen and fisherman ★
He's some perfect stranger

★ andruste, spoken ★
He looks so young

★ fisherman, spoken ★
Yes but any trojan could be an enemy

★ helen ★
I just don’t know what possessed me
To come here to this place

★ andruste ★
Oh, but surely not him

★ andruste, helen and fisherman ★
He's some perfect stranger

★ andruste and helen ★
It's been so long since we’ve been here
So why today

★ helen, spoken ★
Why today?

★ paris, spoken ★
Aphrodite
It's true

★ paris ★
Here you are
I finally meet you
Face to face

I must be at heaven's door
And you are worth dying for
But this death is strange
Somehow i breathe
And still feel pain
But i gave you the sun
And now i claim my reward

Will you stay by me
Aphrodite
Sweet aphrodite

I always knew
You'd come for me
I always knew

★ helen ★
You jump to conclusion, my friend
You are no more dead than i
Fate shows you favour
We were merely passing by
But why when you fought so hard to live
Should you wish to die

★ fisherman ★
There aren’t many others who survive
Such a battle
With the wild aegean tides

★ andruste and helen ★
It’s lucky we were near
Lucky we were here

★ helen ★
Strange that i was -

★ helen and paris ★
Here you are
I finally meet you
Face to face
Out of the past
And into this lonely place

★ helen, spoken ★
He has no idea who i am

★ andruste, spoken ★
I think he raves, mistress

★ fisherman, spoken ★
I'm sure he isn't fron greece

★ andruste, spoken ★
He called you goddess, didn’t he

★ fisherman, spoken ★
And you shouldn't be here

★ helen ★
He called out a name meant for me

★ andruste ★
I don't think that he'll die

★ fisherman ★
I still think he's a spy

★ helen ★
For me

★ andruste ★
I don’t really know why

★ helen ★
Yet i just answered

★ andruste ★
He seems so innocent

★ fisherman ★
He is not innocent
He could mean danger

★ andruste, helen and fisherman ★
Some perfect stranger

★ fisherman ★
Think of the danger

★ helen ★
He’s seen me that i cannot possibly be
Yet, i feel that i know him
He is some perfect stranger

I'll give
Care for him
Until he’s well
