Point Of Know Return Lyrics - Vanden Plas

I heard the men saying something 

The captains tell they pay you well 

And they say they need sailing men to 

Show the way and leave today 

Was it you that said "How long, how long?" 

They say the sea turns so dark that 

You know it's time you see the sign 

They say the point demons guard is 

An ocean grave for all the brave 

Was it you that said, "How long, how long 

How long to the point of know return?" 

Your father, he said he needs you 

Your mother, she said she loves you 

Your brothers, they echo the words 

"How far to the point of know return" 

"How long, how long?" 

Today I found a message floating 

In the sea from you to me 

You wrote that when you could see it 

You cried with fear the point was near 

Was it you that said, "How long, how long 

How long to the point of know return?"
