Six years I've been in the city
Every night I dreamt 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 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 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 long turtle spear
And i feel i'm close now to where it must be
My island home is waiting for me
(ooh yeah bit)
For 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
My island home, my island home
My island home, my island home
