Letra de '39 (Remastered 2011)
In the year of '39 Assembled here, the volunteers In the days when lands were few Here the ship sailed out Into the blue and sunny morn' The sweetest sight ever seenAnd the night followed day And the storytellers say That the score brave souls inside For many a lonely day Sailed across the milky seas Never looked back, never feared, never criedDon't you hear my call? Though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you? Write your letters in the sand For the day I take your hand In the land that our grandchildren knewIn the year of '39 Came a ship in from the blue The volunteers came home that day And they bring good news of a world so newly born Though their hearts so heavenly weighFor the Earth is old and grey Little darling went away But, my love, this cannot be For so many years have gone Though I'm older, but a year Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to meDon't you hear my call? Though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you? Write your letters in the sand For the day I take your hand In the land that our grandchildren knewDon't you hear my call? Though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you? All your letters in the sand Cannot heal me like your hand For my life, still ahead, pity me
