| Lady love, go back to sleep
|
| Dry the tears from your eyes
|
| But i cannot stay with thee
|
| Until the morning
|
| For the dawn is breaking
|
| And my ship is waiting for me
|
| And i must go
|
| But i’ll be back, yes
|
| Before this year is over;
|
| And we sailed across the sea
|
| Till we found america
|
| 'round the cape of storms
|
| We set our sails for home
|
| And when the sea was roaring
|
| And the lord i called
|
| To help my drowning men
|
| I saw the light, yes, the candle in your window …
|
| And i have brought you silver
|
| And i have brought you gold
|
| And spices from the indies in the hold;
|
| I’ve seen ships on horizon
|
| That i’d swear were going down
|
| And now i know for certain
|
| The world is round
|
| I have seen, my eyes have seen
|
| Oh, one day says galileo
|
| A man will reach the sky
|
| And see the world completely
|
| From outside
|
| And gazing down from yonder
|
| On a world of blue and green
|
| He’ll say with eyes of wonder
|
| I have seen, my eyes have seen
|
| My eyes have seen |
