`39

And the night followed day <br /> And the story tellers say <br /> That the score brave souls inside <br /> For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas <br /> Ne`er looked back, never feared, never cried <br /> <br /> Don`t you hear my call though you`re many years away <br /> Don`t you hear me calling you <br /> Write your letters in the sand <br /> For the day I take your hand <br /> In the land that our grandchildren knew <br /> <br /> Aah, aah, aah, aah <br /> <br /> In the year of `39 came a ship in from the blue <br /> The volunteers came home that day <br /> And they bring good news of a world so newly born <br /> Though their hearts so heavily weigh <br /> For the earth is old and grey, little darling we`ll away <br /> But my love this cannot be <br /> Oh so many years have gone though I`m older but a year <br /> Your mother`s eyes from your eyes cry to me <br /> <br /> Don`t you hear my call though you`re many years away <br /> Don`t you hear me calling you <br /> Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand <br /> In the land that our grandchildren knew <br /> <br /> Don`t you hear my call though you`re many years away <br /> Don`t you hear me calling you <br /> All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand <br /> <br /> For my life <br /> Still ahead <br /> Pity me
