| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
