Ca Ira: Opera in Three Acts: "Adieu My Good and Tender Sister..." - Roger Waters

Adieu my good and tender sister

I am condemned to die

My only regret is to abandon my children

My children, my God, how it tears me to leave them

My love for them was always first and last

My God, I miss my children so

Madame Antoine, if we could only turn back the clock

TO that garden in Vienna

Madame Antoine, Madame Antoine,

Mother is calling, darkness is falling

Monsieur, I know thee not

The oak tree without and the peach tree within

Your mother was calling

The darkness was falling

MY little cock robin pray kneel here beside me

The dance is about to begin

Courage Madame, in this great rebirth

Like wind-fallen fruit we return to the earth

I saw but a priest

I am but a man

Madame, please take my hand

Monsieur, please take my hand
