Hero and Leander Songtext
von Adam Guettel

Could I be Leander?
On a wave am I borne?
Borne to a new home across this lonely sea?

Could you be my Hero, heart afire?
My lighthouse on the shoreline
Could you be that to me?

Oh, I need you
I need the rise and fall of your voice
Oh, I love you
And now I have a love to rejoice


Hero and Leander, how your passion is brave
Even if I drown here inside this wave
My lighthouse on the shoreline
My passion on this lonely sea
My loving you was meant to be

Now, could you be that to me?

Oh, I need you
I need the rise and fall of your voice
Oh, I love you
And now I have a love to rejoice

Hero and Leander, how your passion is brave
Even if I drown here inside this wave
My lighthouse on the shoreline
My passion on this lonely sea
My loving you was meant
Was meant to be
