My Island Home

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? N’ my island home My island home My island home Is waiting for me N’ my island home My island home My island home Is waiting for me Six years I lived in the desert And every night I dreamt of the sea Now I’m down here living in the city With all Of my family N’ my island home My island home My island home Is waiting for me N’ 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 N’ my island home My island home My island home Is waiting for me N’ my island home My island home My island home Is waiting for me N’ my island home My island home My island home Is surrounded by sea
