[00:35.49]In the year of '39 assembled here the Volunteers '39
[00:39.80]In the days when lands were few
[00:44.50]Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
[00:49.50]The sweetest sight ever seen
[00:54.10]And the night followed day
[00:56.56]And the story tellers say
[00:58.90]That the score brave souls inside
[01:03.90]For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
[01:08.14]Never looked back, never feared, never cried
[01:13.12]Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
[01:17.85]Don't you hear me calling you
[01:22.41]Write your letters in the sand
[01:24.65]For the day I take your hand
[01:27.03]In the land that our grandchildren knew
[02:02.08]In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue '39
[02:06.43]The volunteers came home that day
[02:11.40]And they bring good news of a world so newly born
[02:15.80]Though their hearts so heavily weigh
[02:20.65]For the earth is old and grey, little darling we'll away
[02:25.32]But my love this cannot be
[02:29.97]For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
[02:34.42]Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me
[02:39.44]Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
[02:44.08]Don't you hear me calling you
[02:48.69]Write your letters in the sand
[02:51.03]For the day I take your hand
[02:53.46]In the land that our grandchildren knew
[02:58.26]Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
[03:02.78]Don't you hear me calling you
[03:07.57]All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
[03:12.23]For my life
[03:13.60]Still ahead
[03:14.84]Pity Me
