Discovery

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 ;
I've seen ships on 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 , my eyes have seen
My eyes have seen
