reverend glasseye - the world is not my home, sir lyrics

[verse 1]
well now gather ’round my people, and sing me off to sleep
my days been filled with sorrow, that sorrow is so deep
we’ll sing those songs of trouble, gloominess and sin
no songs of certain evil nor good men giving in
for you shall be my shepherds leading me to joy
and food is everlasting, we’ll find a better day
for if the end is coming and all of us should drown
then sing me first a love song when that mean old sun goes down

[refrain]
close your eyes and go to sleep
the stars your maps and charts to keep
all these precious gifts we give to thee

[verse 2]
and if my countrymen be brothers, i sing of your deeds
sing to me in joyous tones and in my time of need
and one day you will find me and when at last you come
i’ll tell you of my secret that the world is not my home

hold your voices high
as the road gets darker now
let the trumpets pray
through this bleary [?]
sings the songs of wonder
gentlemen in my time of need
[chorus]
we have been this place before
jonah row your boat ashore
we are lost, can’t see the stars
jonah row your boat ashore
forgive me my mistempers, i’ve been so quick to judge
help is cold and greedy, as you meant so very much
and if this darkness is everlasting and it’s wicked and it’s cruel
then kiss my forehead gently and know that i love you

[refrain]
close your eyes and go to sleep
the stars your maps and charts to keep
all these precious gifts we give to thee

[bridge]
as the sun goes gently down
my friends they pivot and turn around
they bow and swivel ([?])
they say “la la la”
they say “la la la”
they say “la la la”
they say “la la la”
they say “la la la la”
and the world is not my home, sir
and the world is not my home, sir
and the world is not my home, sir
and the world is not my home, sir
and the world is not my home, sir
[chorus]
we have been this place before
jonah row your boat ashore
we are lost can’t see the stars
jonah row your boat ashore
i have been this place alone
jonah row your boat ashore
it is true that the world is not my home, no
jonah row your boat ashore
