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 the 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, |
|
I have seen, |
|
My eyes have seen. |
