Lyrics

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. r
Ian 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 nationwide 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)
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

Women's chorus
(Ah)

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 everywhere

Shanty
Love everywhere

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

Chorus (ghosts)
He's sleeping amongst us
He's in our dreams
Don't worry. he's with us now

Shanty
Don't say it's so
It isn't fair
For I was told by those who know
There was love everywhere
