Prometheus

Millburn: Okay, so uh...do you have anything to back that up? I mean, look, if you're willing to discount three centuries of Darwinism, that's...wooh! But how do you know? Mm?
Elizabeth Shaw: I don't. But it's what I choose to believe.

 From the place ^  I'll be  landing?

           where

    Well I'm sailin away my own true love.

    I'm sailin' away in the mornin'

    Is there something I can bsend you from across the sea,

    From the place where I'll be landin'?

No, there's nothing you can bring me my own true love.

There's nothing I wish to be ownin'.

Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled

from across that lonesome ocean.

    Well I just though you might want something fine

    made of silver or of golden

    either from the mountains of Madrid

    or the coast of Barcelona.

If I had the stars from the darkest night

and the diamonds from the deepest ocean,

I'd foresake them all for your sweet kiss,

for that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'

    That I might be gone a long old time,

    and it's only that I'm askin'.

    Is there something I can give you to remember me by,

    To make your time more easy passin'?

Oh how can, how can you ask me again?

It only brings me sorrow.

For the same thing that I want from you today

I would want again tomorrow.

Well I got a letter on a lonesome day.

It was from her ship a'sailin'.

Sayin' "I don't know when I'll be comin' back again.

It depends on how I'm feelin'."

Well if you my love must think that a'way

I'm sure your mind is a'roamin'.

I'm sure your heart is not with me

but with the country where you're goin'.

So take heed, take heed of the Western wind.

Take heed of the stormy weather.

And yes, there's something you can send back to me;

SPANISH BOOTS OF SPANISH LEATHER.
