Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind

Spring Awakening Song of the Day #13

"Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind"
Character(s): Moritz, Ilse

**The last part is sung simutaneously, and is gorgeous

Awful sweet to be a little butterfly
Just wingin' over things
And nothing deep inside
Nothing goin', goin' wild in you, you know
You're slowing by the riverside
Or floatin' high and blue

Or may be cool to be a little summer wind
Like once through everything
And then away again
With the taste of dust in your mouth all day
But no need to know
Like sadness, you just sail away

'Cuz you know I don't do sadness
Not even a little bit
Just don't need it in my life
Don't want any part of it
I don't do sadness
Hey, I've done my time
Lookin' back on it all
Man, it blows my mind
I don't do sadness
So been there
Don't do sadness
Just don't care

Moritz Stiefel?

Ilse? You frightened me.

What're you looking for?

If only I knew.

Then what's the use of looking? I'm on my way home, want to come?

I don't know.

God, you remember how we used to run back to my house and play pirates? Wendla Bergmann, Melchior Gabor, you, and I?

Spring and summer ev'ry other day
Blue wind gets so sad
Blowin' through the thick corn
Through the bales of hay
Through the open books on the grass
Spring and summer

Sure, when it's autumn
Wind always wants to
Creep up and haunt you
Whistlin' it's got you
With its heartache, with its sorrow
Winter wind sings and it cries

Spring and summer ev'ry other day
Blue wind gets so pained
Blowin' through the thick corn
Through the bales of hay
Through the sudden drift of the rain
Spring and summer

Actually, I better go.

Walk as far as my house with me!

I wish I could.

Then why don't you?

80 lines of Virgil, 16 equations, a paper on the Hapsbourgs

So maybe I should be some kind of laundry line
Hang their things on me
And I will swing 'em dry
You're just wavin' the sun throught the afternoon
And then see, they come to set you free
Beneath the risin' moon

'Cuz you know I don't do sadness
Not even a little bit
Just don't need it in my life
Don't want any part of it
I don't do sadness
Hey, I've done my time
Lookin' back on it all
Man, it blows my mind
I don't do sadness
So been there
Don't do sadness
Just don't care

Spring and summer ev'ry other day
Blue wind gets so lost
Blowin' through the thick corn
Through the bales of hay
Spring and summer ev'ry other day
Blue wind gets so lost
Blowin' through the thick corn
Through the bales of hay
Through the wandering clouds of the dust
Spring and summer
