"Island Home" Lyrics

Six years I've been in the city
And every night I dream of the sea
They say home is where you find it
Will this place ever satisfy me
For I come from the saltwater people
We always live by the sea
Now I'm down here living in the city
With my man and my family

My island home
My island home
My island home is waiting for me
My island home
My island home
My island home is waiting for me

In the evening the dry wind blows
From the hills and across the plain
I close my eyes and I'm standing
In a boat on the sea again
And I'm holding that long turtle spear
And I feel I'm close now
To where it must be
And my island home is waiting for me

my island home- my home
my island home- my home
my island home- my home
my island home- my home
my island home- my home
my island home- my home
my island home- my home

For I come from the saltwater people
We always lived by the sea
Now I'm down here living in the city
With my man and my family

My island home
My island home
My island home is waiting for me
My island home
My island home
My island home is waiting for me

My island home
My island home
My island home is waiting for me
My island home
My island home
My island home is waiting for me

My island home
my home
My island home
my home
My island home
my home
My island home
my home
My island home
my home
My island home
