[storyteller]
come gather round!
come gather young and old
tall and small…
come gather all!

for a town should have a tale to tell
be it highwaymen or wishing wells
the ghost that stalks the graveyard
the banshee and her cry
the whisper tree where lovers died
ev’ry story longs to be heard
and this is hers…

when the bell begins to ring
on the last night of winter
and the first day of spring
is finally here

there’s a change in the air
for the fixed and the frozen
they come to the square for the girl

under star or under cloud
they come the midnight crowd
with a drink in hand
to watch and stand
another year
and they’re here to see
the turning of the key

[soprano]
she looks beautiful tonight!

[alto, spoken]
she’s the same!

[baritone, spoken]
never changes!

[soprano]
but there’s something in the light… maybe this year…

[tenor]
there’s a spark in her eyes

[alto, spoken]
you’re a drunk!

[baritone, spoken]
have another!

[soprano]
i just hope i get to try…

[all]
quick now, she’s waiting!
under star or under cloud
we come the midnight crowd

[tenor & baritone]
with a drink in hand

[soprano & alto]
to watch and stand

[all]
another year and now we’re here to see
the turning of the key

stopped, like a broken clock
there’s a girl that ticks but she doesn’t tock
even though we ev’ry year and try to wind her

still she remains the same
though the legend says that she used to move
and that she could walk and talk long, long ago

so we come to fix what can only click and no longer clack
with another twist in her back, again
praying that she’ll stir
she’ll return

[tenor]
she had a love, so they say

[alto]
found a boy

[baritone, spoken]
don’t they always!

[tenor]
though fate got in the way

[alto, spoken]
‘course it did!

[soprano, spoken]
always does

[alto]
so she waits though they’re apart

[tenor]
for a sign, for a signal

[alto & tenor]
or a reason to start

[alto & baritone]
a reason to wake
a need to be free
a reason to rouse
a reason to be

[soprano & tenor]
stopped like a broken clock
ticks but she doesn’t tock
clicks but she doesn’t clack
with a twist in her back

[all]
when the bell begins to ring
on the last night of winter
and the first day of spring
is finally here

there’s a change in the air
for the fixed and the frozen
we come to the square
we come to the square

under star or under cloud
we come the midnight crowd
with a drink in hand
to watch and stand
another year

now we’re here to see
the turning of the…

fixed and frozen in the square
waiting for the turning of the…
