Lyrics

"It's nothing to do with the next song, which is called '39"
 ♪
 "Came on everybody"
 ♪
 In the year of '39
 Assembled here the volunteers
 In the days when the lands were few
 And the ship sailed out
 Into the blue and misty morn'
 Sweetest sight ever seen
 And the nights followed day
 And the story tellers say
 The score brave souls inside
 For so many a lonely day
 Sailed across the milky seas
 Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried
 Don't you hear my call?
 Though you're many years away
 Don't you hear me calling you?
 Write your letters in the sand
 For the day I take your hand
 In the land that our grandchildren knew
 Ah-ah-ah-aah
 Ah-ah-aah
 Ah-ah-aah
 Ah-ah- aaah(aaah)
 Ah-ah-ah-ah-aah
 Ah-ah-ah-ah-aaah
 ♪
 In the year of '39
 A single ship came from the blue
 The volunteers came home that day
 And they bring good news
 From a world so newly born
 Though their hearts so heavily weigh
 Now the earth is old and grey
 To a new home we'll away
 But, my love, this cannot be
 For so many years have gone
 Now I'm older but a year
 Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me
 Don't you hear my call?
 Though you're many years away
 Don't you hear me calling you?
 Write your letters in the sand
 For the day I take your hand
 In the land when our grandchildren knew
 Everybody!
 Don't you hear my call?
 Though you're many years away
 Don't you hear me calling you?
 All your letters in the sand
 Cannot heal me like your hand
 All my life, still ahead, pity me
 ♪
 Wo-oh-ooh
 Alright (uuh)
