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
