    Question Can't you hear my call? Have chorus, need title

    Hi everyone! First and maybe only post.

    Here's the chorus to a song that was a minor hit in the mid '70's or so. It was on a rock album by a famous group. I haven't heard it in over 25 years. I loved it!

    "Can't you hear my call, though I'm many years away,

    Can't you hear me calling you?

    Write love letters in the sand, for the day I'll take your hand,

    In the land that our grandchildren knew!"

    Title and group please. Thanks much.

    Got it! '39 is the song title from the "Live Killers" album

    Here's your lyrics:

    Wooh hoo
    In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers
    In the days when the lands were few
    And the ship sailed out into the blue and misty morn
    The sweetest sign ever seen.

    And the night followed day
    And the story tellers say
    The score brave souls inside
    For so many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
    Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried.

    Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
    Don't you hear me calling you
    Write your letters in the sand
    For the day I take your hand
    In the land that our grandchildren knew.

    Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah

    In the year of '39 a simple ship came from the blue
    The volunteers came home that day
    And they bring good news from a world so newly born
    Though their hearts so heavily weigh
    Now the earth is old and grey, to a new home we'll away
    But my love this cannot be
    For so many years have gone now I'm older but a year
    Your mother's eyes in your eyes cry to me

    Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
    Don't you hear me calling you
    Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
    In the land when our grandchildren knew

    Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
    Don't you hear me calling you
    All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand

    All my life
    Still ahead
    Pity me.
