When I first came to this island    that I called by my 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       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 shone a young light    from her labor I was saved    Though I’ve traveled long in darkness    in her harvest I’m embraced       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       And the spires and the gables    grow in orchards to the sky    And the blessings on my table    multiply and divide       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 [x4]
