The Neva Flows - Anastasia Original Broadway Cast Recording

[00:10.01] Be very careful of these rumors that prevail

[00:14.51] Be very careful what you say

[00:18.41] I was a boy who lived the truth behind the tale

[00:23.06] And no one got away

[00:28.32] I saw the children as the soldiers closed the gate

[00:33.57] The youngest daughter and her pride

[00:37.35] My father leaving on the night they met their fate

[00:42.00] His pistol by his side

[00:47.15] The Neva flows, a new wind blows

[00:51.65] And soon it will be spring

[00:56.65] The leaves unfold, the Tsar lies cold

[01:01.90] A revolution is a simple thing

[01:12.90] I heard the shots. I heard the screams. But it's the silence after I remember most

[01:22.40] The world stopped breathing

[01:27.41] And I was no longer a boy

[01:36.40] My father shook his head and told me not to ask

[01:41.54] My mother said he died of shame

[01:45.17] But I believe he did a proud and vital task

[01:50.17] And in my father's name

[01:54.92] The Neva flows, a new wind blows

[02:00.42] And soon it will be spring

[02:05.32] The leaves unfold, the Tsar lies cold

[02:13.57] Could I have pulled the trigger

[02:17.72] If I'd been told?

[02:23.47] Be careful what a dream may bring

[02:28.47] A revolution is a simple thing
