In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers

Here the ship sailed out into the

That the score brave souls inside

Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away,
Don't you hear me calling you

Bridge:
In 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 heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey, little darling we'll 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 me.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
Em7 D7 G
For my life, still ahead, pity me.
