When I first came to this island that I called by own name I was happy in this fortress, in my exile I remained But the hours grew so empty and the ocean sent her waves In the figure of a woman and she pulled me out to sea [Chorus] When you come down to take me home send my soul away When you come round you'll make me whole send my soul away On the altar of a sunrise was a wedding in the waves And inside her shown a young light from her labor I was saved Though I've traveled long in darkness in her harvest I'm embraced [Chorus] When you come down to take me home send my soul away When you come round you'll make me whole send my soul away Now the spires and the gables grow in orchards to the sky And the blessings on my table multiply and divide [Chorus] When you come down to take me home send my soul away Yeah when you come round you'll make me whole send my soul away Yeah when you come down to take me home when you come round you'll make me whole Yeah when you come round to take me home Send my soul away send my soul away Send my soul away send my soul away
