DREAMS FOR ALICE / Drowning in a Sea of Tears

From my musical DREAMS FOR ALICE this is my solo performance of the White Rabbits "big number". After Alice grows and shrinks and grows and shrinks she ends up swimming in a sea of her own tears in the chapter "Sea of Tears" from ALICE IN WONDERLAND. The complete CD and downloads are available at Amazon.com and downloads are also available from iTunes. More information can be found at www.DREAMSFORALICE.com

LYRICS:

The Rabbit:

I'M the Rabbit I'm back right here in the hall
Splendidly dressed with my white gloves and all
A fan in my hand
I'm late as before
Won't the duchess be savage if I'm late one time more
And now there's Alice in her tears and she's tall as the wall
She seems so distant with her innocent call
and I throw down this fan and escape down the hall
but she picks it up gently and again becomes small
And she's drowning / drowning / drowning (with Alice)
In a Sea of Tears

She found she was wrong it wasn't the sea
She'd grown now so small
quite as small as can be
And she's falling so fast to the worst of her fears
She's now up to her neck in a sea of her tears
And while splashing about she ran into a mouse
Who she spoke to in French
Asking "how to get out" - Alice
And he told her a tale that was dry and quite long
About William the conqueror
It went on and on!
And she's drowning / drowning / drowning - Alice
In a Sea of Tears

The Rabbit: (reciting poem from the book):

THE MOUSE'S TAIL....

Now Fury said to a mouse
that he met in a house
Let us both go to law
I shall prosecute you
Come I'll take no denial
We must first have a trial
for this morning there is nothing left to do
It's up to you

Never before has the head of a classical record label written such contemporary

material. I greatly admire your creativity, guitar-playing, and Nashvillian voice.
