I Don't Do Sadness Lyrics - Spring Awakening

[MORITZ] 

Awful sweet to be a little butterfly 

Just swinging over things and nothing deep inside 

Nothing going, going wild in you, you know 

You're slowing by the riverside, or 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 

'Cuz you know 

I don't do sadness 

Not even a little bit 

Just don't need it in my life 

Dont want any part of it 

I don't do sadness 

Hey, Ive done my time 

Lookin' back on it all, man, it blows my mind 

I don't do sadness 

So been there 

Don't do sadness 

Just dont care 

SPOKEN: 

[ILSE] 

Moritz Steifel? 

[MORITZ] 

Ilse, you frightened me 

[ILSE] 

What are you looking for? 

[MORITZ] 

If only I knew 

[ILSE] 

Then what's the use of looking? 

I'm on the way home, want to come? 

[MORITZ] 

I don't know 

[ILSE] 

God, you remember how we used to run back 

To my house and play pirates 

Wendla Bergman, Melchior Gabor, you and I? 

[ILSE] 

Spring and summer 

Every other day 

Blue wind gets so sad 

Blowing through the thick corn 

Through the bales of hay 

Through the open books on the grass 

Spring and summer 

Sure when its autumn 

Wind always wants to 

Creep up and haunt you 

When silence got you 

If it's heartache well, it's sorrow 

Winter wind sings and it cries 

Spring and summer 

Every other day 

Blue wind gets so pained 

Blowing through the thick corn 

Through the bales of hay 

Through the sudden drift of the rain 

Spring and summer 

SPOKEN: 

[MORITZ] 

Actually I better go 

[ILSE] 

Walk as far as my house with me 

[MORITZ] 

I wish I could 

[ILSE] 

Then why don't you? 

[MORITZ] 

Eighty lines of Virgil, sixteen equations, a paper on the Hapsburgs 

[MORITZ] 

So maybe I should be some kind of laundry line 

Hang their 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] 

'Cuz you know 

I dont do sadness 

Not even a little bit 

Just dont need it in my life 

Dont 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 every other day 

Blue wind gets so lost 

Blowing through the thick corn, 

Through the bales of hay 

Spring and summer every other day 

Blue wind gets so lost 

Blowing through the thick corn, 

Through the bales of hay, 

Through the wandering clouds of the dust 

Spring and summer
