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; And 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.
