'39 (Live)

Alright!

Yee-hee!

In the year of '39
Assembled here the volunteers
In the days when the lands were few
Here the ship sailed out
Into the blue and misty morn'
Sweetest sight ever seen

And the nights followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For so many a lonely day
Sailed across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried

Don't you hear my call?
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you?
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew

Aaah... (aaah...)
Aaah... (aaah...)
Aaah... (aaah...)
Aaaah...! (aaaah...!)
Aaah...! (aaah...!)
Aaaah...! (aaaah...!)

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

Now 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?
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land when our grandchildren knew

Don't you hear my call?
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you?
All your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
All my life, still ahead, pity me
