My Island

Sailing on a summer breeze, going back to my island Nearly done my time, my life will be mine once again The distant past so far behind And I hope there hasn't been many changes 'Cause I haven't seen my island for such a long time Oh, I want to breathe the air that's free Oh, I want to feel the warm sand beneath my feet And the sun on my face, oh Couldn't say goodbye through no fault of mine to my loved ones But sent a message through from my first port of call I was pressed into time by the men from the line They didn't tell me where I was going And I haven't seen my island in such a long time Oh, I've sailed upon the seven seas Oh, you wouldn't believe the things I've seen When I get home I'll tell you, oh Oh, I want to breathe the air that's free Oh, I want to feel the warm sand beneath my feet And the sun on my face, yeah, oh Sailing on a summer breeze, going back to my island Nearly done my time, my life will be mine once again The distant past so far behind And I hope there hasn't been many changes 'Cause I haven't seen my island for such a long time, oh, oh, oh, oh --- My Island - The Hollies
