Lyrics

I'll be coming back to you, Darlene.
 Back to your dark eyes and hair.
 Marry me when I return, Darlene.
 And until that day, my love, take care.
 Be thee well.
 May the lord who watches all watch over thee.
 May god's heaven be your blanket as you softly sleep.
 Marry me
 When you're fin'ly in my arms you'll plainly see
 This devoted sailors heartand soul'
 Are yours to keep!
 Yours to keep...
 Every day from G.M.O.M
 " Good morning, old man"
 To G.N.O.M
 " Good night, old man"
 My telegraph sends its messages to ships at sea.
 Sending out its
 Dit dit dah dit dah dit
 Dit dit dah dit dah dit
 Dit dit dah dit dah dit...
 I was young and shy, detached and sad
 Spend my days indoors, a home- bound lad.
 Hardly spoke, few friends,
 I kept myselfe to myselfe
 Quite alone.
 Then I found Marconi's telegraph.
 It could span the planet's width by half
 Fifty jards, two thousand miles
 The same!
 Touch the spark... sound the tone
 And the night was alive
 With a thousand voices
 Fighting to be heard
 And each and every one of them
 Connected to me...
 And my life came alive
 With a thousand voices
 Tapping out each word
 Like a thousand people
 Joined with a single heartbeat
 Tapping out its dit dit dah dit dah dit
 Dit dit dah dit dah dit
 Dit dit dah dit dah dit
 Everywhere...
 Marry me
 It's alive with a thousand
 May the lord who
 Voices
 Watches all
 Watch over thee
 And every one of them
 Connected to me
 Marry me
 So alive with a thousand
 Voices
 May God's Heaven be
 Your blanket
 As you sleep
 This people
 Joined with a single
 Heartbeat
 Tapping out our dit dit dah dit dah dit
 Marry me...
 Dit dit dah dit dah dit
 Marry me...
 Dit dit dah dit dah dit
