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

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

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

My island home, my island home
My island home, my island home
