Lyrics

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;

So 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
But now I know for certain
The world is round
I have seen, my eyes have seen

One day says galileo
A man will reach the sky
And see the world completely
From outside
And gazing down from younder
On a world of blue and green
He'll say with eyes of wonder
I have seen, I have seen
My eyes have seen
I have seen
My eyes have seen
