Christine Anu - My Island Home

Six years I've been 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 a family

And my island home, my island home

My island home is waiting for me

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 lived by the sea

Now I'm down here living in the city

With my man and a family

And my island home, my island home

My island home is waiting for me

My island home, my island home

My island home is waiting for me

My island home, my island home

My island home is waiting for me

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
