Covenant College 2009 performance of Bertolt Brecht's "The Caucasian Chalk Circle", directed by Claire Slavovsky. All music composed by senior Justin Johns.

LYRICS:
And the lover started to leave
And his betrothed ran pleading after him
Pleading and weeping, weeping and teaching
"Dearest mine, dearest mine...

"When you go to war as now you do,
When you fight the foe as soon you will -
Don't lead with the front line,
And don't lead with the rear line
At the front is red fire -
In the rear is red smoke.
Stay near the War's center
Stay near the standard bearer!
The first always die...
The last are also hit.
Those in the Center
Come Home."

  • is there any way i can find out the lyrics to this? i've been looking all over google and can't find them, and i need them very desperately!

  • @ZoeTreasure I put the lyrics in the video description for you! Do you need the lyrics to the rest of the songs as well? If so, I will e-mail one of my friends who was actually in the cast and therefore (hopefully) still has the script. It might be easier that way than to listen to the songs and write them down as I go... ^_^
