Six years I've lived 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 salt water people
we always lived 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.
(MUSIC)
In the evening the 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 longturtle spear
and i feel i'm close now to where it must be
my island home is
waiting for me
(MUSIC)
For i come from the salt water people
we always lived 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
