There, there is my ship
|
Finally come in
|
I see the mast rolling on the steps
|
Over the garden wall
|
I hear the sailor's call
|
I see the albatross
|
|
Over and down now I'll go home
|
Home to my children I left behind
|
Long ago with my mother the moon
|
That's where my father is
|
This broken heart is his
|
|
Archipelago is turning, turning to strangers
|
Here in the world, turning to strangers
|
Oh, they hold on
|
Here, here's where we live
|
Here is a sea, my family
|
We'll always be young as we've ever been
|
Death will not part us again nearer to heaven than
|
10,000 ancestors who dream of me
|
Well I hear you dreaming of me
|
Yeah sometimes, dream of me!
