The “Night Waltzes” talk of a long, drawn out night where the sun refuses to go down. As the show is set in Sweden, “the land of the midnight sun”, in summer, it is meant literally, as the sun never leaves the sky during the summer months!
Figuratively, it refers to how the characters are stuck in...
The Sun Won’t Set (Night Waltz I) Lyrics
[MRS. ANDERSSEN]
The sun sits low
Diffusing its usual glow
Five o'clock...
Twilight...
Vespers sound
And it's six o'clock...
Twilight
All around...
[QUINTET]
But the sun sits low
As low as it's going to go
[MR. ERLANSEN]
Eight o'clock...
[MR. LINDQUIST]
Twilight...
[MRS. ANDERSSEN, MRS. NORDSTROM & MRS. SEGSTROM]
How enthralling!
It's
[MR. ERLANSEN]
Nine o'clock...
[MR. LINDQUIST]
Twilight...
[MRS. ANDERSSEN, MRS. NORDSTROM & MRS. SEGSTROM]
Slowly crawling
Towards
[MR. ERLANSEN]
Ten o'clock...
[MR. LINDQUIST]
Twilight...
[MRS. ANDERSSEN, MRS. NORDSTROM & MRS. SEGSTROM]
Crickets calling...
[QUINTET]
The vespers ring
The nightingale's waiting to sing
The rest of us wait on a string
Perpetual sunset
Is rather an unset-
Tling thing
The sun won't set
It's fruitless to hope or to fret
It's dark as it's going to get
The hands on the clock turn
But don't sing a nocturne
Just yet
