I’m Already There Fairport Convention

Was homeward bound, one night on the deep
Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep

Across the ocean we set sail
It was a rough and mighty sea
Our strength 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 calling from the start my destiny
In a sea of calm

And I dream at night
Of those frozen waves
Of that curtained sky
In its shimmering state

Land of great white bears
Across that crystal flow
And the snow flakes fall
I'm already there

At Hudson 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
