|
I come from the salt water people |
|
We always live by the sea |
|
They say home is where you find it |
|
Will this place ever satisfy me? |
|
An' my island home, my island home |
|
My island home is waiting for me |
|
An' my island home, my island home |
|
My island home is waiting for me |
|
Six years I lived in the desert |
|
And every night I dreamed of the sea |
|
Now I'm down here living in the city |
|
With all of my family |
|
An' my island home, my island home |
|
My island home is waiting for me |
|
An' 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 |
|
My home is Australia |
|
We are a land bound by sea |
|
Though I may travel far across the ocean |
|
It will never forget me |
|
An' my island home, my island home |
|
My island home is waiting for me |
|
An' my island home, my island home |
|
My island home is waiting for me |
|
An' my island home, my island home |
|
My island home is surrounded by sea |
