Six years I have 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



I come from the salt water people

We always live by the sea

Now I'm down here living in the city

With my man and a family



My island home, my island home

My island home, is waiting for me x 2



In the evening dry wind blows

From the hills and across the plains

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



My island home is waiting for me



I come from the salt water people

We always live by the sea

Now I'm down here living in the city

With my man and the family



My island home, my island home

My island home, is waiting for me x 2



My island home, my island home

My island home, is waiting for me x 2



My island home x 4
