Woman In White Soundtrack Lyrics - Perspective Lyrics (Limmeridge House. The conservatory. Later the same morning. Laura is sitting, playing the piano. She is 21, exquisitely beautiful, fair and she bears a striking resemblance to Annce Catherick. Hartright enters) (He looks at Laura) Hartright: (softly) My God! (Laura is startled and stops playing) Hartright: You must be Miss Fairlie? I am Walter Hartright. Forgive me if I scared you. Laura: Not at all! Welcome! Your're a very nice surprise. (They look at once another. They smile. Marian enters) Marian: Is she not the way that I described her? We're as unalike as black and white Laura: Still we are insep'rable Marian: Joined as day to night, Very clearly of a diff'rent feather - We're and odd but merry pair of birds! She'd say I'm verbose and garrulous- Laura: But in fewer words! Marian (speaking): Laura! (Hartright laughs) Laura (speaking): I fear your journey here was tedious? Hartright (speaking) My journey was filled with drama! First I met the local Signal Man a strange and unearthly man. He told me he'd had a vision that I would come and that I would bring tragedy in my wake. Laura(speaking): Heavens! Hartright: (speaking) Indeed! But he said: "You'll mark my words! (singing) When a year to this day The dead lie on the tracks! The dead lie on the tracks!" Marian (speaking): How strange! Hartright: What happened next was stranger still A woman breathless and afraid Appeared out of the night! Completely dressed in white She had a secret she would tell Of one who had mistreated her Her face and frightened gaze My mind cannot erase But then she ran from view (to Laura) She looked so much like you. lAURA (speaking): Perhaps you saw a ghost? Hartright (speaking): Ghost or not, she haunts me still. (to laura)(singing) She looked so much like you! Marian (speaking): We must clear up this mystery! Hartright (speaking): But first, ladies, we must take advantage of this wonderful light! (he moves off and the women follow, collecting their hats and sketch books) (A beautiful summer's day for their first drawing lesson. The are outside the formal gardens of Limmeridge House with a couple of servents, all three before their easels. Laura puts on a hat and shawl. They stand before their easels drawing. We hear both what they express openly and their inner thoughts) Marian: Nothing's duller than my watercolouring I've next to no technique at all Laura: My pen and ink are passable Marian: My pen and ink appall. All my sketching soon with have you wretching. I'm a notch below a chimpanzee Laura: But we're highly trainable, Marian: We shall wait and see. Hartright: You can capture shade and light best of all perspective Marian: All I ever do is trite Hartright: Beauty is subjective you'll develope your own style Marian: He has such a winning smile Hartright: You will know when it feels right. Laura: I could trust him at first sight. (It is now a few weeks later. We are in mid summer) Hartright: Be observant, be a humble servent, Sley dedicated to your art Laura: I can hardly concentrate Marian: What a shaky start (she tears yp the paper) Hartright: Don't conceal the things you think and feel Get you emotion flowing through you brush Marian: If I follow your advice Yor would surley blush Laura: If I'd practice what you preach I'd be more effective Hartright: She's so clearly out of reach Seen from my perspective Marian: He's a beath of summer air Hartright: See the sunlight in her hair Laura: I must disregard his charms Laura/Marian: And his manly rugged arms (The maids lay out a picnic lunch. The three eat. There is a sence that we are drifting through a long hot summer of drawing lessons) Marian: Give me people not a tree or steeple Not a slice of apple on a knife Still life's not as int'resting A a slice of life Hartright: Your're inproving, this is very moving, That's a cocker spaniel clear and true. Marian: Thank you for the compliment I was sketching you! All Three: Whats the reason that I am here? What is my objective? What a strirring atmosphere! But where is my perspective? Can you get a dizzy thrill? While the world is standing still? Yet the summer's drifting by While these golden moments fly.
