Warning - Cast Recording

So there it is, Claire it is, as you feared

All these years of wonder

Their closure draws near

A quiet kind of distance, a word I would not touch

Did I ever know my son at all?

Well now I know too much

But where was the warning?

How can this be?

I guess there are some things

We don’t want to see

Where was the warning?

To know this was coming

Now what do I do with

This news I find numbing

Where was the warning?

Where was the warning?

And what if I liked the song I heard before

The one I sang when my boy was born

All the dreams I had for him, they fade away

Lost in words I could not say

I wish that I could hold him, God he’s all alone and scared

I should be there for him

I love him so, but I am not prepared

And where was the warning?

His father will die

How do I tell him?

He can’t see me cry

Where was the warning?

Don’t tell anyone

I won’t want their pity

I just want my son

It’s happened, it’s happened

And life is so strange

One simple word, and the whole world has changed

Could this really be my child?

My firstborn, my child

Who lay in his cradle

So tender and mild
