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

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

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
Yeah 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 round to take me home
Send my soul away
send my soul away
Send my soul away
send my soul away
