|
When I first came to this island |
|
That I called by my own name |
|
I was happy in this fortress |
|
In my exile I remained |
|
But the hours grew so empty |
|
And the ocean sent her waves |
|
In the figure of a woman |
|
She pulled me out to sea |
|
When you come down to take me home |
|
Send my soul away |
|
When you come 'round you'll make me whole |
|
Send my soul away |
|
On the altar of a sunrise |
|
Was a wedding in the waves |
|
And inside her shone a young light |
|
From her labor I was saved |
|
Though I've traveled long in darkness |
|
In her harvest I'm embraced |
|
When you come down to take me home |
|
Send my soul away |
|
Yeah, when you come 'round you'll make me whole |
|
Send my soul away |
|
Now the spires and the gables |
|
Grow in orchards to the sky |
|
And the blessings on my table |
|
Multiply and divide |
|
When you come down to take me home |
|
Send my soul away |
|
Yeah, when you come 'round you'll make me whole |
|
Send my soul away |
|
Yeah, when you come down to take me home |
|
When you come 'round you'll make me whole |
|
Yeah, when you come down to take me home |
|
Send my soul away |
|
Send my soul away |
|
Send my soul away |
|
Send my soul away |
