The Island |
| Have you walked on the city street? |
| And looked close at the people you meet? |
| Is there a trace of a smilin' face that you can see? |
| I recall how it used to be |
| When the poor were free to be |
| I remember the time when there wasn’t the crime or the hustle and greed |
| There’s so much that I remember |
| Like the simple joy of knowing your neighbour next door |
| I long to see the rainbows as they bridge across the sky |
| And hold the hand of the woman I love so |
| Take me back to the place the leeward face of the island |
| To the sunset skies and the smiling eyes I love |
| Just as sure as the sun up above is brightly shining |
| I’ll be flying again like a gull on the wind |
| I’ll be coming home to you |
| There’s so much that I remember |
| Like the simple joys and breathing the clean fresh air |
| I long to see the deep blue bay from the black cliffs by the sea |
| And hold the hand of the woman I love so |
| Take me back to the place the leeward face of the island |
| To the moonlit nights and the harbour lights I love |
| Just as sure as the stars up above are brightly shining |
| I’ll be flying again like a gull on the wind |
| I’ll be coming home to you |
| I’ll be flying again like a gull on the wind |
| I’ll be coming home to you |
