Dame Kiri Te Kanawa & Sally Burgess & Jerry Hadley & Willard White & Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir & Choristers of Liverpool Cathedral - Crypt - text písně

1959
Shanty, now a confused teenager, goes to a church dance in the crypt; he doubts his and god's existence. Here, mary dee materialises - still dreamlike - to him again. Still he cannot see her. As he sings of his vision of the future, mary dee breaks the news that his father has died. Shanty is left sad and alone.

Shanty:
And so it was that I had grown
into a youth uncertain, thrown
amongst the lions and the lambs
to pass the time we watched the children dance
I used to come here when this place was a crypt
now the music plays
oh, don't you sometimes wish they'd stick to the script
as the local preacher says
rain from heaven will blessings bring
behold the harvest grown
rain from heaven falls down on you
but me, I feel alone.

Preacher (sympathetically):
Alone.

Shanty:
Alone.

Preacher:
If they won't come to worship god in a church
something must be done
we have to instigate a nation-wide search
for a way to make it fun
rain from heaven will blessings bring
behold the harvest grown.

Shanty and preacher:
Rain from heaven falls down on you

Shanty:
But me, I feel alone
alone
here now, what am I doing here now
hear me, why do you never hear me
why do you never hear me?

Mary Dee (as half-ghost) and women's chorus:
I'll always be here
I'll never leave you
I'll always be in your mind
dreams of the future
ghosts of the past left behind.

Shanty:
Thought I had a vision, lying in a graveyard
thought I heard a melody inside
could it be the future
speaking with the voice of those who died
thought I saw a kingdom, happiness and laughter
somewhere for an innocent to play
is there any justice
do these things still happen in this way?

Mary Dee:
Don't tell him no, it isn't fair
for he was told by those who know
there was love ev'rywhere.

Shanty:
Love ev'rywhere.

Mary Dee:
Now's the time to tell him
while his mother's crying
break it to him gently as she weeps
let him know his father
will be well looked after, where he sleeps.

Shanty and chorus (ghosts):
(He's sleeping amongst us.)
Don't say it's so
(he's in our dreams)
it isn't fair
(don't worry)
for I was told by those who know
(he's with us now)
there was love ev'rywhere
alone.
