lirik lagu come alive again – original off-broadway cast of the spitfire grill

[hannah]
oh, i’ve sat at this table
for so many years
all alone at the end of the day
i’d forgot what it was
to have family and friends
who can help pass the hours away

tonight at this table
i’m closed for the day
and i’m far as can be from alone
and be d*mned if this grill
ain’t the best that it’s been
you’re the dearest of friends that i’ve known

and the light from these windows
ain’t sparkled this bright
not since i can remember back when
and my friends and my family are with me tonight
and this old grill has come alive again!

people sat at thеse tables
for twenty odd yеars
just to pick at their food and complain
now they walk in here smiling
and they clean off their plates
and the reason ain’t hard to explain
the girls at the table
beside me tonight
give their hearts to whatever they do
and the folks ’round the grill
have a new appetite
for the goodness that’s coming from you

and the light from these windows
ain’t sparkled this bright
not since i can remember back when
and my friends and my family are with me tonight
and this old grill has come alive—

[shelby & percy]
and the light from these windows
ain’t sparkled this bright

[hannah, shelby & percy]
not since i can remember back when
and my friends and my family are with me tonight
and this old grill has come alive again!

[effy]
i’d like the morning special please
does that include a prize?
i brought along a hundred bucks
and a page of pretty lies
[hannah, spoken]
if you’re so worked up
about this contest
be my guest
jump right in
got readin’ enough
for a month of sundays
and don’t pretend you never look
at everybody’s mail
come back to me
with the best of the batch
and then maybe
just maybe
i’ll put up with your smart*ass remarks!

[effy, spoken]
“dear mrs. ferguson”
(sung)
“i have lived in this building
fifteen years come this fall
and i still don’t know the names
of the people ‘cross the hall”

[joe]
“dear mrs. ferguson
if i dropped dead tomorrow
would my boss even know?
twenty years in this cubicle
i’m ready to go”
[caleb, spoken]
that raffle contest stuff is keeping you kinda busy, don’t you think?

[shelby, spoken]
i can manage.

[caleb, spoken]
well, with hannah back on her feet, she doesn’t need both you and percy anymore. i’ll let hannah know you’re quitting.

[shelby, spoken]
caleb, you’re not my foreman. this isn’t the quarry.

[caleb, spoken]
what’s that supposed to mean?

[shelby, spoken]
if you need a clean shirt you’ll have to put in another load. i’ll be late for work.

[caleb]
what does it take for a man to feel some pride?
not lie awake, wishin’ for a hole to hide…

[effy, joe]
“dear mrs. ferguson” “dear mrs. ferguson”
“dear mrs. ferguson” “dear mrs. ferguson”
“dear mrs. ferguson” “dear mrs. ferguson”
“dear mrs. ferguson” “dear mrs. ferguson”

[joe]
“from the sound of your place
why would you ever want to leave?
i guess you’ve got your reasons
but it’s hard to believe”

[effy]
“i know you can’t turn the clock back
i know that life isn’t fair
but there’s got to be some hope left
somewhere”

[hannah, shelby & percy]
“dear mrs. ferguson”

[percy]
“i want to see more than concrete and glass”

[shelby]
“i want my husband and me to have time for our lives”

[hannah]
“i want my children to learn how to smile”

[hannah, shelby & percy]
“i want part of me to come alive again”

[joe, effy, percy, hannah & shelby]
all summer, more essays arrive every day
find their way to each corner of town
people sit on their porch swings ‘n’ read them out loud
’til long after the sun has gone down

old storefronts are painted, each flower box fills
the sidewalks are patched and repaired
there are cars along main street with out*of*state plates
it’s been so long since anyone cared

and the light from these windows
ain’t sparkled this bright
not since we can remember back when
there’s a spirit of hope along main street tonight

[hannah, shelby & percy]
and this old grill has come alive

[effy & joe]
and this old town has come alive

[joe, effy, percy, hannah & shelby]
and gilead has come alive

[effy & joe]
alive

[joe, effy, percy, hannah & shelby]
again!
