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.
