JERRY CRUNCHER: Miss Lucy had her work cut out for her. Dr. Manette could hardly stand on those two frail legs of his. But we all finally got him down the stairs and we headed off to the docks to take the boat back to London. Then, the Marquis Saint Evrémonde pulled up in a big fancy coach and I heard Mr. Darnay telling his uncle that he wants to renounce his inheritance. He said, "the family name is associated with fear and slavery and you have acted shamefully, injuring every human creature who comes between you and your pleasure." The Marquis didn't seem to care much for that! and told Mr. Darnay to accept his natural destiny. But Mr. Darnay said he was never coming back to France again and he slammed the coach door shut and headed off to the docks.
(CHARLES DARNAY)
I DIDN'T SEE THE LINES
DRAWN ACROSS HIS FACE
PICTURES OF A LIE
HIDDEN BY MY HASTE
I NEVER SAW HIS FEAR
HIDDEN BY MY RAGE
I MUST FIGHT THE HATE WE BREED
I MUST CHANGE MY WAYS
(CHORUS)
IT TAKES TIME
TO FIND WHAT YOU BELIEVE
IT TAKES TIME
TO SATISFY THE NEED
(CHARLES DARNAY)
FADING WITH THE LIGHT
I’M REACHING FOR A RAY
A PLACE THAT I CAN GO INSIDE
WHEN SANITY IS PREY
AND ONCE INSIDE THAT ROOM
I’LL LEAVE THE REST BEHIND
BUT I WON’T BE A PRISONER
CAPTURED IN HIS LIES
(CHORUS)
IT TAKES TIME
TO FIND WHAT YOU BELIEVE
IT TAKES TIME
TO SATISFY THE NEED
TIME
TO FIND OUT WHAT IS REAL
IT TAKES TIME
TO TRUST IN WHAT YOU FEEL
(INSTRUMENTAL)
TIME
TIME
TIME
(MARQUIS)
EIGHTEEN YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE
HE’S STILL A FOOLISH CHILD
IF HE WON’T EXCEPT HIS DESTINY
THEN I WILL TAKE HIS LIFE
HE’LL NEVER SEE THE LIES
WRITTEN ON A PAGE
A LETTER FROM THE UPPER CLASS
LOCKING HIM AWAY
((MARQUIS CHORUS)
ILL TAKE HIS TIME
I’LL DO THE EVIL DEED
ILL TAKE HIS TIME
AND THROW AWAY THE KEY
(CHARLES DARNAY CHORUS)
IT TAKES TIME
TO FIGHT FOR YOUR BELIEFS
IT TAKES TIME
WILL I EVER BE FREE
TIME
TIME
TIME
JERRY CRUNCHER: Now then, the Marquis called over this unsavory bloke, John Barsad, who had been waitin' in the shadows. He gave him a letter and a bag of gold coins and told him to follow Mr. Darnay back to London and go to the Magistrate, and give him this letter that will have Mr. Darnay arrested for treason. Barsad agreed and slithered back down to the docks and on to the boat. That Mr. Darnay, eh . . . It took quite a man to give up all that wealth and power and take a stand for what he believed was right. Right?
