Out of Exile

When I first came to this island,
That I called by my 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...

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 on the waves,
And inside her shown a young light,
From her labour I was saved -
Though I've traveled long in darkness,
In her harvest I'm embraced...

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;
Now the spires and the gables,
Grow in orchards to the sky;
And the blessings on my table,
Multiply and divide...

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...

Yeah when you come down to take me home,
When you come round you'll make me whole,
Yeah when you come down to take me home,
Send my soul away;
Send my soul away;
Send my soul away;
Send my soul away...
