The Director Never Yelled 'Cut'

The Director Never Yelled 'Cut'

Some directors like a lot of cutting, cutting

But it seems that this director has a different thing in mind

She could not articulate exactly what she wanted

What she wanted was a feeling that I tried so hard to find

Faith in her artistic vision lead me to continue

To express the sort of passion that I'd never shown before

I expected "yes, we've got it"

but there was no "yes, we've got it"

All that I could sense is that she wants a little more

The Director Never Yelled 'Cut'

Got to stay in character, for how long I can't tell you

And I feel we're getting closer though no indication yet

Then she says "we've got it", and I say "you sure we've got it?"

And she says "that is a wrap, that was your best performance yet"

The director finally yelled "cut"
