[00:02.96]? Queen - '39 ?
[01:52.55]In the year of '39
[01:54.73]assembled here the Volunteers.
[01:57.23]In the days when lands were few.
[02:00.92]
[02:02.05]Here the ship sailed out
[02:04.35]into the blue and sunny morning.
[02:06.91]The sweetest sight ever seen !
[02:10.60]
[02:11.54]" And the night followed day. "
[02:13.97]And the story tellers say :
[02:16.28]" That the score brave souls inside.
[02:19.78]
[02:21.34]For many a lonely day
[02:23.34]sailed across the milky seas.
[02:25.71]Ne'er looked back,
[02:26.63]never feared,
[02:27.82]never cried. "
[02:28.94]
[02:30.51]Don't you hear my call
[02:32.51]though you're many years away ?
[02:35.07]Don't you hear me calling you ?
[02:39.00]
[02:39.87]Write your letters in the sand
[02:42.12]for the day I take your hand
[02:44.74]in the land that our grandchildren knew.
[02:48.68]
[02:49.55]In the year of '39,
[02:51.42]
[02:51.98]came a ship in from the blue.
[02:54.24]The Volunteers came home that day.
[02:58.05]
[02:58.98]And they bring good news
[03:01.80]of a world so newly born,
[03:04.10]though their hearts so heavily weight.
[03:08.03]
[03:09.22]For the earth is old and grey,
[03:11.91]little darling we'll away
[03:14.04]but my love this cannot be.
[03:16.84]
[03:18.47]For so many years have gone
[03:20.97]though I'm older but a year.
[03:23.09]Your mother's eyes
[03:24.28]from your eyes
[03:25.47]cry to me.
[03:26.65]
[03:28.15]Don't you hear my call
[03:30.47]though you're many years away ?
[03:32.53]
[03:33.10]Don't you hear me calling you ?
[03:36.46]
[03:37.15]Write your letters in the sand
[03:39.77]for the day I take your hands.
[03:42.21]In the land that our grandchildren knew.
[03:45.89]
[03:46.83]Don't you hear my call
[03:49.26]though you're many years away ?
[03:51.63]Don't you hear me calling you ?
[03:55.44]
[03:56.13]All your letters in the sand
[03:58.32]cannot heal me like your hand.
[04:01.07]For my life !
[04:02.40]Still ahead !
[04:03.45]God bless all of you
