My Island Home

Six years I've been in the desert 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'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 awaitin' for me In the evenin', 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 tyello spear, and I feel unclothed, now To where it must be, my island home, is awaitin' for me For I come from the salt water 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 awaitin' for me In the evenin', 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 tyello spear, and I feel unclothed, now To where it must be, my island home, is awaitin' for me My island home My island home My island home is awaitin' for me My island home My island home My island home My island home My island home My island home My island home My island home My island home My island home My island home My island home My island home My island home My island home My island home My island home
