[00:00:03] I've aged

[00:00:07] I've aged so very much

[00:00:11] I fall asleep at the table

[00:00:15] My napkin drops to the floor

[00:00:19] I'm full of childish vanities

[00:00:22] I forget things

[00:00:24] And I live in the past

[00:00:28] I've aged so very much

[00:00:40] People enjoy me though

[00:00:44] I come in for tea in my old fashioned coat

[00:00:48] And powdered wig

[00:00:51] And I tell stories

[00:00:55] And utter scathing critiques

[00:01:00] This stern shrewd old man

[00:01:03] A relic of the past century

[00:01:07] With his gentle daughter

[00:01:11] Such a majestic and agreeable spectacle

[00:01:21] But besides the couple of hours during which we have guests

[00:01:28] There are also twenty two hours in the day

[00:01:33] During which the private and intimate life of the house continues

[00:01:45] Bring my me slippers

[00:01:47] Yes father yes father

[00:01:49] Bring me my wine

[00:01:51] Yes father yes father

[00:01:53] If you're not too busy

[00:01:55] Fiddling with your incense and icons

[00:01:59] No father no father

[00:02:01] And I have no friends

[00:02:03] No never go anywhere

[00:02:05] Never invited

[00:02:07] For who would take care of him

[00:02:09] I can hurt you

[00:02:11] I can hurt you

[00:02:13] But I never ever ever ever would

[00:02:16] No father

[00:02:17] I love you father

[00:02:20] And time moves on

[00:02:27] And my fate slips past

[00:02:29] And nothing ever happens to me

[00:02:32] And countess Natalya Rostov is coming for tea

[00:02:37] I know they'll like me

[00:02:40] Everyone has always liked me

[00:02:44] Natasha is young

[00:02:46] And worthless and dumb

[00:02:48] And time moves on

[00:02:55] And my fate slips past

[00:02:58] Is this all I'll make of my life

[00:03:00] Will I never be happy

[00:03:02] Will I never be anyone's wife

[00:03:06] Ah what's this a young suitor

[00:03:09] Ah come in come in

[00:03:11] But don't sit down don't sit down

[00:03:13] I'm cold to you

[00:03:14] Yes I'm mean to you

[00:03:16] Now be gone be gone be gone

[00:03:19] And don't come back

[00:03:23] Oh maybe I'll marry someone myself

[00:03:25] Some cheap French thing

[00:03:28] Oh that offends you does it

[00:03:30] Ah come in my dear

[00:03:33] Come in my dear come in

[00:03:35] And he draws her to him

[00:03:37] And he kisses her hand

[00:03:40] Embraces her affectionately

[00:03:43] And I flush and run out of the room

[00:03:47] Come back here

[00:03:48] Let an old man have his fun

[00:03:50] But she's just using you papa

[00:03:52] Wants your money papa

[00:03:54] To take advantage of your weakness like that

[00:03:58] It's disgusting

[00:03:59] My voice breaks

[00:04:01] It's my money and I'll throw it where I want

[00:04:04] Not at you

[00:04:06] And not at sender's harlot

[00:04:08] Insolent girl

[00:04:10] Insolent girl

[00:04:13] Where

[00:04:14] Where

[00:04:15] Where are my glasses

[00:04:17] Where are they

[00:04:19] Where are my glasses

[00:04:20] Oh god

[00:04:22] Oh god I'm frightened

[00:04:24] Oh god I've aged so very much

[00:04:29] Where are my glasses

[00:04:32] Where are my glasses

[00:04:36] Where are my glasses

[00:04:44] They are there upon his head

[00:04:48] The pride of sacrifice

[00:04:53] Gathers in my soul

[00:04:59] And he forgets things

[00:05:04] He falls asleep at the table

[00:05:07] His napkin drops to the floor

[00:05:10] His shaking head

[00:05:12] Sinks over his plate

[00:05:17] He is old and feeble

[00:05:21] And I dare to judge him

[00:05:26] I disgust myself

[00:05:33] I disgust myself
