That I called by my 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
When I first came to this island That I called by my 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 Explain Request ×
