BREKKE'S CRY
by Anne McCaffrey ©1977 and (in italics) Tania Opland ©2006

soprano: Don't leave me alone!
alto & baritone: A cry in the night of anguish heart-striking
soprano: Don't leave me alone!
alto & baritone: A cry in the night of soul killing fright
(soprano:)
Awakened in darkness (alto & baritone: terror! grief!)
Bursting with thoughts not our own (alto & baritone: terror! grief!)
Awakened in darkness (alto & baritone: terror! grief!)
(all:) Choking, burning, falling, dying...
soprano: Don't leave me alone! A cry in the night_______
alto & baritone: A cry in the night of anguish heart-striking
soprano: Don't leave me alone! A cry in the night_______
alto & baritone: A cry in the night of soul killing fright

alto: Live for my living or else I must die
soprano & baritone: Live for my living or else I must...
alto: Live for my living, the world heard that cry_______
soprano & baritone: Live! Live! The world heard that cry.
soprano: Don't leave me alone!
alto & baritone: A cry in the night of anguish heart-striking
soprano: Don't leave me alone!
alto & baritone: A cry in the night of soul killing fright

All: Don't leave me alone!
