The Albatross

There, there is my ship finally come in

I see the mast rolling on the steps

Over the garden wall

I hear the sailor's callI see the albatross

Over and down now I'll go home

Home to my children I left behind

Long ago with my mother the moonThat's where my father is

This broken heart is his

Archipelago is turning, turning to strangers

Here in the world, turning to strangersOh, they hold on

Here, here's where we live

Here is a sea, my family

We'll always be young as we've ever been

Death will not part us again nearer to heaven than
