Out of Exile

When I first came to this island

That I called by my own name

I was happy in this fortress

In my exile I remained

But the hours grew so empty

And the ocean sent her waves

In the figure of a woman

She pulled me out to sea

When you come down to take me home

Send my soul away

When you come 'round you'll make me whole

Send my soul away

On the altar of a sunrise

Was a wedding in the waves

And inside her shone a young light

From her labor I was saved

Though I've traveled long in darkness

In her harvest I'm embraced

When you come down to take me home

Send my soul away

When you come 'round you'll make me whole

Send my soul away

And the spires and the gables grow in orchards to the sky

And the blessings on my table multiply and divide

When you come down to take me home

Send my soul away

When you come 'round you'll make me whole

Send my soul away

When you come down to take me home

When you come 'round you'll make me whole

When you come down to take me home

Send my soul away

Send my soul away

Send my soul away

Send my soul away
