'39 (Live, European Tour / 1979) - Queen

Lyrics by：Brian May

Composed by：Brian May

In the year of '39 assembled here the Volunteers

In the days when the lands were few

And the ship sailed out into the blue and misty morn

The sweetest sight ever seen

And the night followed day and the story tellers say

The score brave souls inside

For so 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 a slipper ship came from the blue

The volunteers came home that day

And they bring good news from a world so newly born

Though their hearts so heavenly weigh

Now the Earth is old and grey

To a new home went away

But my love this cannot be

For so many years are gone

Now I'm older but a year

Your mother's eyes and your eyes cry to me

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 when our grandchildren knew

Don't you hear my call though you're many years away

Don't you hear me calling you

All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand

Or my life still ahead pity me
