05 - '39

[00:34.98] In the year of thirty-nine assembled here the volunteers

[00:39.75] In the days when lands were few

[00:44.27] Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn

[00:49.33] The sweetest sight ever seen

[00:53.84] And the night followed day

[00:56.23] And the story tellers say

[00:58.63] That the score brave souls inside

[01:03.67] For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas

[01:07.92] Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried

[01:12.71] Don't you hear my call though you're many years away

[01:17.48] Don't you hear me calling you

[01:22.26] Write your letters in the sand

[01:24.39] For the day I take your hand

[01:26.78] In the land that our grandchildren knew

[02:01.75] In the year of thirty-nine came a ship in from the blue

[02:06.27] The volunteers came home that day

[02:11.23] And they bring good news of a world so newly born

[02:16.01] Though their hearts so heavily weigh

[02:20.51] For the earth is old and grey, little darling went away

[02:25.30] But my love this cannot be

[02:29.82] For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year

[02:34.59] Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me

[02:39.39] Don't you hear my call though you're many years away

[02:44.16] Don't you hear me calling you

[02:48.67] Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand

[02:53.46] In the land that our grandchildren knew

[02:58.23] Don't you hear my call though you're many years away

[03:03.02] Don't you hear me calling you

[03:07.80] All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand

[03:12.31] For my life

[03:13.64] Still ahead

[03:14.98] Pity Me
