lady love, go back to sleep,
dry the tears from your eyes,
but i cannot stay with thee,
until the morning,
for the dawn is breaking,
and my ship is waiting for me,
and i must go,
but i'll be back, yes,
before this year is over;
and we sailed across the sea,
till we found america,
'round the cape of storms,
we set our sails for home,
and when the sea was roaring,
and the lord i called,
to help my drowning men,
i saw the light, yes, the candle in your window ...
and i have brought you silver,
and i have brought you gold,
and spices from the indies in the hold;
i've seen ships on horizon,
that i'd swear were going down,
and now i know for certain,
the world is round,
i have seen, my eyes have seen .
oh, one day says galileo,
a man will reach the sky,
and see the world completely,
from outside,
and gazing down from yonder,
on a world of blue and green,
he'll say with eyes of wonder,
i have seen, my eyes have seen,
my eyes have seen .
