about

DATE: Thursday, August 13, 1891

LOCATION: Empire House Lodgings, 636 Commercial Street, Barbary Coast, San Francisco, California

SCENE: Alone and feeling completely forsaken by Frances at the end of the American continent, the witness finally despairs of avenging Frances Coles’ murder after confronting William Green with a pistol in a bar on the Barbary Coast. After his long quest, he cannot bring himself to shoot the man, knowing in his heart that Green cannot truly be the murderer. The witness deeply desires to unite with Frances and believes he must cross the deep divide of death to be with the one he loves.

He resolves to complete the task that he has been given. At the moment he accepts his fate, Frances comes to him. With the spirit as his guide, he crosses over the great divide to meet his otherworldly mistress in death.

lyrics

Over the mountains
Over the sea
Calling my name
Following me

Long have I traveled
Long have I run
Your voice around me
This journey is done

Now I hear you
Round about me

All of the darkness
All of the gloom
Now you appear
Here in this room

Floating beside me
You hold out your hand
I see you need me
I understand

Now I see you
Round about me

Over the Mountains
Over the sea
I saw you dying
Calling for me

Balancing carefully
Hand on the wall
Pull the rope tightly
Slowly I fall

Now I hear you
Now I see you
Now I feel you
Now I want you

Round about me
Round about me
Round about me
Round about me
