[Verse 1]
When I first came to this island
That I called by my own name
I was happy in this fortress
In my exile I remained
But the hours grew so empty
And the ocean sent her waves
In the figure of a woman
She pulled me out to sea
[Chorus]
When you come down to take me home
Send my soul away
When you come 'round you'll make me whole
Send my soul away
Verse 2
On the altar of a sunrise
Was a wedding in the waves
And inside her shone a young light
From her labor I was saved
Though I've traveled long in darkness
In her harvest I'm embraced
[Chorus]
When you come down to take me home
Send my soul away
When you come 'round you'll make me whole
Send my soul away
[Bridge]
Now the spires and the gables
Grow in orchards to the sky
And the blessings on my table
Multiply and divide
[Chorus]
When you come down to take me home
Send my soul away
When you come 'round you'll make me whole
Send my soul away
[Outro]
Yeah, when you come down to take me home
When you come 'round you'll make me whole
Yeah, when you come down to take me home
Send my soul away
Send my soul away
Send my soul away
Send my soul away

Hi everyone, i decided to tab this song one night when i got back from a band
trip to the gator bowl, and realized that the other tabs for this were crap.
I took it upon myself to figure it out, and i realized it isnt hard, but sounds impressive
here it is, in all its perfection
