Epiphany (Benedick's Song) Lyrics

Isn't it strange

You and I alone in this place

Like a sepulchral temple to love

But all of the fickle lovers

With their dying orange trees

Couldn't tear me away

Isn't it strange

Lying tongues and gentle names

And promises from day to night

Sigh no more

This the way of the world

From age to dusty age

But all of the fickle lovers

With their dying orange trees

Couldn't tear me away

I do love nothing in the world

So well as you

Serve God, love me, and mend

I do love nothing in the world

So well as you

I swear I could face the whole world

If only you were by my side

Isn't it strange

You and I alone in this place

Like a warning to the pains of love

Bid me stay

Though we've run the course of our play

But still I'd swear something's changed

But all of the fickle lovers

With their dying orange trees

Couldn't tear me away
