Your Work--And Nothing More

You have your work
And nothing more!
You are possessed -
What is your demon?

You've never been
This way before -
Where is the fire
You built your dream on?
There's something strange,
There's something wrong.
I see a change -
It's like when hope dies.
I, who have known
You for so long,
I see the pain
In your eyes!
UTTERSON/ JEKYLL:
There was a time/ Have
You lived your life,/ I
And no one lived/ Become -
The way that you did!
You had a plan, /My work
You chose a wife,/ And nothing
You saw the world /More?

You seemed to know /That's
Just what to live for!/ Not

Father, you know
Henry won't just walk away.
The only way he knows
Is straight ahead!
SIR DANVERS
Emma, you've not heard
A single word I've said!
My fear is, he's in over his head.
He could lose control,
And that I dread
There has been talk:
They say he's gone too far.
He's locked himself away
In his own world,
Pursuing the insanity -!
It is his work!
SIR DANVERS:
It's more than work -
He is obsessed!
The man is driven!
Just give him time,
I ask no more.
His work's no crime
To be forgiven!
SIR DANVERS: EMMA:
There's something strange./ Just give him time
Unless I'm blind!/ I ask no more
I see a change
Of a bizarre kind!
EMMA: SIR DANVERS:
There's not at all! /He's chasing dreams
Don't be unkind. /He'll never find
The problem's all
In your mind!
SIR DANVERS: UTTERSON: JEKYLL:
He has his work /This increasing/ Father...
And nothing more./ Isolation only adds
He is obsessed! /To your frustration
The man is driven! /And it could
