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
