Fairport Convention - I'm Already There Lyrics
Was homeward bound, one night on the beach,Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep.Across the ocean we set sailIt was a rough and mighty sea,Our srenghth and courage beat the galeTill our ship she landed freeI sail my vessel for my lord in banburySo no come to harmIt was my destinyIn a sea of calmAnd I dream at nightOf those frozen wastesOf that curtained skyIn it's shimmering state.Land of great white bears,Across that crystal fallAnd the snow flakes fallI'm already there.At hutson bay we made out campTo heal our wounds and take on storesWith native Indians as our guidesWe found the copper mine shoreWe headed down thorugh candaOur bow was breaking through the iceBut it got thicker when we stoppedHeld in a frozen viceI wonder how you are, across the mighty seaThrough the turqouise sprayAnd all the people that you meet, a lot like meIs there much to sayAnd I dream at nightOf thoses frozen wastesAnd that curtained skyIn it's shimmering stateLand of great white bearsAcross that crystal fallLike the snowflakes fallI'm already there.Franklin said he had to leaveAnd take our chance with dog and sledI thought of you and hoped you pray for meWe are brothers come what maySo much good willOut in the streets of this old townAs people ask your nameSo many thoughts my humble prayers,Go out to youOn that ice bound plainAnd I dream at nightOf those frozen wastesOf that curtained skyIn it's shimmering stateLand of great white bearsAcross that crystal fallLike the snowflakes fallI'm already there.
