Karaoke '39 Queen

In the year of thirty-nine assembled here the volunteers

In the days when lands were few

Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn the sweetest sight ever seen

And the night followed day and the story tellers say

That the score brave souls inside

For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas

Ne'er looked back never feared never cried

Though you're many years away

Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand

In the land that our grandchildren knew

In the year of thirty-nine came a ship in from the blue

The volunteers came home that day

And they bring good news of a world so newly born

Though their hearts so heavily weigh

For the earth is old and grey little darlin' we'll away but my love this cannot be

Oh so many years have gone though I'm older but a year

Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me

Write your letters in the sand for the day I'll take your hand

In the land that our grandchildren knew

All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand for my life still ahead pity me
