Lyrics

Now we leave Dantes to his reverie, and turn the clock back three months to see "The Pharaon", as she returns to port in Marseilles. It is there, Mercedes awaits...

Gulls wheel above as she comes round the key
Slow crawls le Pharaon, in from the sea
A vague disquietude hangs in the air
Yet constant and sure she is handled with care

And the mate tells the tale of what's gone before
Of the death of his Captain, and the Emperors shore
And the ship owner, grateful, and kindly of late
As gift, makes the Captain, our proud former mate
And he cried ...

Providence smiled, and granted to me
All that I'd prayed for and set out to be
Where will it take me, I walk in the dream
Providence smiled

Well the mate-become-captain, he hurries on home
To visit his father who lives all alone
Then visits a girl that he loves more than life
To ask once again, for her hand as his wife

And they whisper together as lovers will do
The thoughts in their heads just the two of them knew
And dreamed of a future of joy and of light, and
Look toward the morrow, their own wedding night
And they dreamed ...
