Six years I've been in the desert
And every night I dream of the sea
They say home is where you find it
But will this place ever satisfy me
verse 2
For I come from the salt water people
We always lived by the sea
Now I'm out here west of Alice Springs
With a wife and a family
Chorus
And my island home
My island home
My island home is a waiting for me
verse 3
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 Iâ??m holding that long turtle spear
And I feel Iâ??m close now to where it must be
And my island home is a waiting for me
Instrumental
For I come from the salt water people
We always lived by the sea
Now I'm out here west of Alice Springs
With a wife and a family
Chorus
And my island home
My island home
My island home is a waiting for me
Verse 5
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 Iâ??m holding that long turtle spear
And I feel Iâ??m close now to where it must be
And my island home is a waiting for me
Chorus
And my island home
My island home
My island home is a waitinâ?? for me
Exit Chorus 1
And my island home
My island home
My island home
My island home
Exit Chorus 2 (repeat x3 times)
My island home
My island home
My island home
My island home
Finish on
My island home
