Mercédès Waits - la tragédie d'Edmond

Once he was hers, a heart so true A sailor's vow, a love that grew But fate was cruel, the tide betrayed And time unstitched the dreams they made The chains were cold, the years unkind Yet in the dark, she filled his mind Her name was light, his guiding flame But love had died, and rage remained The love she held is lost in time Mercédès waits, the fates unkind The fortress stole the man she knew His voice, his heart, his soul untrue A shadow stands where hope once shone A love destroyed by time and stone She called his name in midnight air A whispered prayer, a silent dare Yet when he stood before her eyes She saw a ghost in his disguise The boy she loved, the man who swore Was not the soul who stood before The love she held is lost in time Mercédès waits, the fates unkind The fortress stole the man she knew His voice, his heart, his soul untrue A shadow stands where hope once shone A love destroyed by time and stone Was love a crime or fate unkind? Did time erase or change the mind? She loved him once, he loved her more But love lay broken on the shore The love she held is lost in time Mercédès waits, the fates unkind The fortress stole the man she knew His voice, his heart, his soul untrue A shadow stands where hope once shone A love destroyed by time and stone A fleeting touch, a love undone No path to heal, no place to run The tide still turns, the past has flown Two hearts destroyed by time and stone
