Lyrics: Discovery
Album: Beautiful Dreams
Artist: Chris De Burgh
 

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;

So 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 the horizon,
That i’d swear were going down,
But now i know for certain,
The world is round,
I have seen, my eyes have seen.

One day says galileo,
A man will reach the sky,
And see the world completely,
From outside,
And gazing down from younder,
On a world of blue and green,
He’ll say with eyes of wonder,
I have seen, i have seen,
My eyes have seen.
I have seen,
My eyes have seen.
