TAKE IT OFF THE SCREEN
Print the sheet for the piano stand, or load the MIDI into any app and practise at your own tempo.
HOW TO PLAY
- 1Put your right thumb on middle C. Most beginner songs stay under five fingers — you never move your hand.
- 2Set the speed down and turn CLICK on. Press each key exactly when the note reaches the line.
- 3Loop the bar that keeps breaking until it feels easy, then add the left hand and take the speed back up.
LYRICS
What did I clear ly say?
Chil dren must lis ten.
What were you not to do?
Chil dren must see—
And learn.
Why could you not o bey?
Chil dren should lis ten?
What have I been to you?
What would you have me be, Hand some like a prince?
Ah, but I am old, I am ug ly.
I em bar rass you.
You are a shamed of me.
You are a shamed.
You don’t un der stand.
Don’t you know what’s out there in the world?
Some one has to shield you from the world.
Stay with me.
Princ es wait there in the world, it’s true.
Princ es, yes, but wolves and hu mans, too.
Stay at home.
I am home.
Who out there
could love you more than I?
What out there
that I can not sup ply?
Stay with me.
Stay with me, The world is dark and wild.
Stay a child while you can be a child.
With me.
