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 .
