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 saltwater people

we've always lived by the sea

now I'm out here west of Alice Springs

with a wife and a family

and my island home

my island home

my island home

is waitin' for me

In the evening the dry wind blows

from the hills

and across the plain

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 waitin' for me

For I come from the saltwater people

we've always lived by the sea

now I'm out here west of Alice Springs

with a wife and a family

and my island home

my island home

my island home

is waitin' for me

In the evening the dry wind blows

from the hills

and across the plain

I close my eyes and I'm standing

in a boat

on the sea again

and I'm holding a long turtle spear

and i feel I'm close now

to where it must be

my island home, is waitin' for me

my island home [x3]

is waitin' for me

my island home [Endless to the end]
