(mary dee and shantys home)

Mary dee (alone in bedroom)

The world youre coming into,

Is no easy place to enter.

Every day is haunted

By the echoes of the past.

Funny thoughts and wild; wild dreams

Will find their way into your mind.

The clouds that hang above us,

May be full of rain and thunder.

But in time they slide away

To find the sun still there.

Lazy days and wild. wild flowers

Will bring some joy into your heart.

And I will always love you,

Ill welcome you into this world.

Mary dee and boy solo

You-re mine and I will love you.

Shanty

]where-s my dinner?

Ive been working hard all day

And a man can work up quite an appetite that way.

Whats for dinner?

Something nourishing and hot?

I could tackle quite a lot of you know what

And all Ive got to say to you is why no dinner?

Ive got nothing on my plate.

Its expected of a mate.

Whyd ya have to make me wait?

Wheres my...

Mary dee

This is the way we put out the candle.

Farewell to childhood.

Deep in the wild wood a fire goes out,

And what are we left with

Now we are grown up?

Shanty

This is the way we pull up the anchor.

Goodbye to romance.

Out on the ocean a good ship is lost,

And what are we left with

Now we are grown up?

Mary dee

Time to be thinking of real life feelings.

I must get on.

Shanty

Time to be buying those little trinkets

I cant afford.

Lord knows

I want to give her the best.

But where will

I find the rest of the cash?

Mary dee

Its one mad dash

To fame and fortune.

The cymbals clash

And then youre gone.

Shanty

So what are my chances

Of getting promotion?

The way things are going

It doesnt look good.

Mary dee

What good is complaining,

Its getting you nowhere.

And Im in the middle of your whirlwind

In the eye of your storm.

Shanty

Lets not argue.

Mary dee

Spare me your excuses.

Shanty

No excuses.

Mary dee

Pardon my anger.

Shanty

Why are you driving me so hard?

Mary dee

I cant believe what Im hearing.

Shanty

You didnt cook any dinner.

Mary dee

Im not a slave.

I work for a living,

I can command the respect of my peers.

Where did you go?

You were out with the boys.

Shanty

So what if I went for a drink?

Youd think to listen to you

It was some sort of crime.

Mary dee

I needed someone to talk to

But all I could find was myself.

If you were the same man I married,

Youd know that your woman needs love.

Shanty

And what about me?

I suppose I dont matter.

Im not even sure

If you ever loved me.

Mary dee

Right!

Thats it!

Im off!

Oh, and by the way...youre about to become a father.

(she rushes our into the street)

Chorus

Stop.

Wait.

Hold on.

Hold on to life.

Stay.

(hospital)

Nurse

Do you know who you are

As you lie there sleeping?

Take the time to rest your troubled head.

I will watch over you till the moment you awake.

Can you hear what I say

As you lie there sleeping?

When misfortunes crowd into your day

And the dark side of life

Has become too much to bear,

I will stay by your side.

Though we dont yet know if theres something wrong

You were brought in from the street

And a witness said you gave a shout

As you fell down at his feet.

We are running tests

And soon the results will be known.

But I feel I have to warn you,

There may be complications.

But we dont yet know if your child is in danger.

We shall have to wait and see.

In the meantime

There is nothing more for you to do

But sleep.

Boys

Ghosts of the past left behind.

Mens chorus (ghosts)

Youre sleeping

Amongst us.

Were in your dream.

Nurse

Youre dreaming. try to rest, my child.

Mens chorus (ghosts)

You called us,

We heard you

And we are here.

Nurse

To save your child you must be still.

Mens chorus (ghosts)

Were ready to listen

To what you ask.

Nurse

Go to sleep

Womens chorus (ghosts)

Youre crossing

The water,

The tide is strong.

Mary dee

No!

Womens chorus (ghosts)

Your child is drawn to us,

Into our throng.

Shanty

No!

Full chorus (ghosts)

This child is

Most welcome.

Soon one of us.

Mary dee

No, I tell you!

Youll never get through,

Ill never let you.

No-one is stealing this child.

Im not afraid of ghosts that the past left behind.

Shanty

Let her recover,

Then let me love her

Until we run out of time.

And in the future

I will promise to be the man

She had in mind.

Nurse

Be still.

Be calm.

Your child is safe.

Mary dee

Do we live in a world

With an uncertain future

Where a man is unsure of his fate?

Will we come to our senses

Be fair to each other?

Can we turn it around

Before its too late?

Do I know that we have the answer?

Yes, I know now we are together.

So we must bear in mind

That the pages are turning

And the sand will run out of the glass.

In the heat of the battle

We will drive out the demons

And well carry the day,

For we must save the child.

Mary dee and nurse

(ah)

Mary dee and shanty

We have come to our senses,

We are part of each other

And well carry the day,

For we must save the child.

Chorus

Do you know that you have the answer?

Mary dee and shanty

Yes, we know now.

Chorus

We know now.

Mary dee and shanty

We know now.

We are together.
