When I first came to this island
That I called by my own name
I was happy in this fortress
In my exile I remainedBut the hours grew so empty
And the ocean sent her waves
In the figure of a woman
She pulled me out to seaWhen you come down to take me home
Send my soul away
When you come 'round you'll make me whole
Send my soul awayOn the altar of a sunrise
Was a wedding in the waves
And inside her shone a young light
From her labor I was savedThough I've traveled long in darkness
In her harvest I'm embracedWhen you come down to take me home
Send my soul away
Yeah, when you come 'round you'll make me whole
Send my soul awayNow the spires and the gables
Grow in orchards to the sky
And the blessings on my table
Multiply and divideWhen you come down to take me home
Send my soul away
Yeah, when you come 'round you'll make me whole
Send my soul awayYeah, 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 homeSend my soul away
Send my soul away
Send my soul away
Send my soul away
