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

[Refrain] :
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

[Refrain]

Now the spires and the gables
grow in orchards to the sky
And the blessings on my table
multiply and divide

[Refrain]

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
