		In the year of '39 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 darling we'll away
		But my love this cannot be
		For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
		Your mother's eyes, from your eyes cry to me.

		Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
		Don't you hear me calling you
		All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand

		       Em7          D7         G
		For my life, still ahead, pity me.

Text:		In the year of '39 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 dau
		And the story tellers day
		That the score brave souls inside
		For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
		Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried.

		Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
		Don't you hear me calling you
		Write your letters in the sand
		For the day I take your hand
		In the land that our grandchildren knew.

		In the year of '39 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, to a new home we'll away
		But my love this cannot be
		For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
		Your mother's eyes in your eyes cry to me.

		Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
		Don't you hear me calling you
		All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand

		For my life
		Still ahead
		Pity Me.
