Eastwick Knows Lyrics – Rosemary Ashe



Soundtrack Album: The Witches of Eastwick
Eastwick Knows Text
Little Girl-

Every dawn, every sunrise, may they find me in this town
I call my home. In the park, in the schoolyard, may the neighbour's
watchful eye guide my steps as I walk by, such a lucky girl am
I you might suppose; well I am- you can ask. Eastwick knows.

Women-

Hear the bells from the steeple, is there a sweeter way to start the
day than this? See the town, watch the people, every wink and every
stare is the neighbourhoods affair, it just shows how much we care
when we propose: for the good, for the best, Eastwick knows.

Men-

Sometimes scandal stirs the breeze, curtains shut but Eastwick sees

All-

Gates may latch, doors may close, but rest assured: Eastwick knows

Alex, Jane and Sukie-

Every day just like clockwork, the world goes dancing by me once again.
But in a town such as Eastwick..

Alex-

When you're different through and through

Jane-

On your own

Sukie-

Or making do

Alex, Jane and Sukie-

Every eye in town's on you and so it goes- good or bad, right or wrong,
Eastwick knows

All-

Eastwick knows a sense of duty and devotion. Eastwick hears not a
single word of woe. Eastwick sees past the hills beyond the ocean.
Eastwick knows all that Eastwick needs to know!

Felicia-

Everyone in harmony, everyone in step. Well, almost!

Alex, Jane and Sukie-

Look at me, I don't belong here. Sad but true- can't even run, cause
there's nothing else worth running to. Who has the power? Who has the prayer?

Alex-

I'd ask the moon

Jane-

I'd ask the moon

Sukie-

I'd ask...

Alex, Jane and Sukie-

If I thought the moon would care.

Felicia-

These women- they could be trouble. Just you wait and see!

Townspeople-

Eastwick knows

Alex, Jane and Sukie-

What isn't anybody's business!

Townspeople-

Eastwick hears

Alex, Jane and Sukie-

And soon the story's changing hands!

Townspeople-

Eastwick sees

Alex, Jane and Sukie-

What isn't meant for it to witness!

Townspeople-

Eastwick knows

Alex, Jane and Sukie-

But it never understands.

All-

As flowers bloom, as bees will buzz, Eastwick thrives as Eastwick does,
for Eastwick is as Eastwick was and always will be! Eastwick shares,
Eastwick learns, Eastwick cares for your concerns. Heed the tides,
mind the throes, Eastwick sees- Eastwick knows!

Lyrics Meaning

Eastwick Knows from *The Witches of Eastwick* musical dives into the essence of small-town life, where everyone’s business becomes everyone else’s. The song reflects a community’s intertwined lives, where secrets are rare, and collective judgment is part of the social fabric. Through each line, the townspeople’s sense of watchfulness is emphasized, showing both the support and restrictions of living in such a close-knit place. “Eastwick knows” becomes a mantra, underscoring how nothing stays private in this town and how each resident is part of a shared world of expectations, traditions, and whispered scandals. The song also highlights the contrasting struggles of Alex, Jane, and Sukie—three women who feel alienated by the town’s judgmental gaze. They sense their own differences and independence, questioning the power of a place that seems to control their narrative. The line, “I’d ask the moon if I thought the moon would care,” reveals their longing for understanding outside the insular walls of Eastwick. Meanwhile, Felicia and the townspeople sing of unity and devotion, almost forewarning that these women’s individuality may disrupt the community’s harmony.

  2. The Ladies Who Lunch – Company

  3. Me and the Sky – Come From Away
    In this powerful ballad, the lead character breaks through societal barriers and expectations. Similar to Alex, Jane, and Sukie, the protagonist faces judgment from those around her, yet forges her own path, challenging her community’s norms.

    This song explores the complexities of childhood dreams and societal pressures. Both songs share themes of feeling watched, judged, and misunderstood within a tight-knit group, as the characters struggle to escape or redefine themselves.
