I'm Already There

Was homeward bound, one night on the beach,

Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep.

Across the ocean we set sail

It was a rough and mighty sea,

Our srenghth and courage beat the gale

Till our ship she landed free

I sail my vessel for my lord in banbury

So no come to harm

It was my destiny

In a sea of calm

And i dream at night

Of those frozen wastes

Of that curtained sky

In its shimmering state.

Land of great white bears,

Across that crystal fall

And the snow flakes fall

I'm already there.

At hutson bay we made out camp

To heal our wounds and take on stores

With native Indians as our guides

We found the copper mine shore

We headed down thorugh canda

Our bow was breaking through the ice

But it got thicker when we stopped

Held in a frozen vice

I wonder how you are, across the mighty sea

Through the turqouise spray

And all the people that you meet, alot like me

Is there much to say

And I dream at night

Of thoses frozen wastes

And that curtained sky

In its shimmering state

Land of great white bears

Across that crystal fall

Like the snowflakes fall

I'm already there.

Franklin said he had to leave

And take our chance with dog and sled

I thought of you and hoped you pray for me

We are brothers come what may

So much good will

Out in the streets of this old town

As people ask your name

So many thoughts my humble prayers,

Go out to you

On that ice bound plain

And I dream at night

Of those frozen wastes

Of that curtained sky

In its shimmering state

Land of great white bears

Across that crystal fall

Like the snowflakes fall

I'm already there.
