Island Home

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
