Steven Sater - Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind (As it relates to The Scarlet Letter) lyrics

[MORITZ] Awful sweet to be a little bu*terfly Just winging over things And nothing deep inside Nothing going going wild in you You know You're slowing by the riverside Floating high and blue Or maybe cool To be a little summer wind Like once through everything And then away again With the taste of dust In your mouth all day But no need to know Like sadness You just sail away Cause you know I don't do sadness Not even a little bit Just don't need it in my life Don't want any part of it I don't do sadness Hey I've done my time Looking back on it all Then it blows my mind I don't do sadness So been there Don't do sadness Just don't care SPOKEN: [ILSE] Moritz Stiefel? [MORITZ] Ilse? You frightened me [ILSE] What are you looking for? [MORITZ] If only I knew [ILSE] Then what's the use in looking? I'm on the way home. Want to come? [MORITZ] I don't know [ILSE] God, remember how we used to run back to my house and play pirates? Wendla Bergmann, Melchior Gabor, you, and I SUNG: [ILSE] Spring and summer ev'ry other day Blue wind gets so sad Blowin' through the thick corn Through the bales of hay Through the open books on the gra** Spring and summer Sure, when it's autumn Wind always wants to Creep up and haunt you Whistlin' it's got you With its heartache, with its sorrow Winter wind sings and it cries Spring and summer ev'ry other day Blue wind gets so pained Blowin' through the thick corn Through the bales of hay Through the sudden drift of the rain Spring and summer SPOKEN: [MORITZ] Actually, I'd better go [ILSE] Walk as far as my house with me [MORITZ] I wish I could [ILSE] Then why don't you? [MORITZ] 80 lines of virgil, 16 equations, a paper on the Habsburgs SUNG: [MORITZ] So maybe I should be some kind of laundry line Hang there things on me And I will swing 'em dry You just wave in the sun Through the afternoon And then see They come to set you free Beneath the rising moon SUNG IN COUNTERPART: [MORITZ] Cause you know I don't do sadness Not even a little bit Just don't need it in my life Don't want any part of it I don't do sadness Hey I've done my time Looking back on it all Then it blows my mind I don't do sadness So been there Don't do sadness Just don't care [ILSE] Spring and summer ev'ry other day Blue wind gets so lost Blowin' through the thick corn Through the bales of hay Spring and summer ev'ry other day Blue wind gets so lost Blowin' through the thick corn Through the bales of hay Through the wandering clouds of the dust Spring and summer
