When I first came to this island
|
that I called by 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
|
and she pulled me out to sea
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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 shown a young light
|
from her labor I was saved
|
Though I've traveled long in darkness
|
in her harvest I'm embraced
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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 round to take me home
|
Send my soul away
|
send my soul away
|
Send my soul away
|
send my soul away
|
