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 signThey 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 says she loves you
  Your brothers, they echo your words:
  "How far to the point of know return?""Well, 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
  To the Point of Know Return?"
