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

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.
