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 |
