Island Home (Earth Beat) - Christine Anu

For I come from the saltwater people

We always live by the sea

They say home is where you find it

Will this place ever satisfy me

My island home

My island home

My island home is waiting for me

My island home

My island home

My island home is waiting for me

Six years I live in the desert

And every night I dream of the sea

Now I'm down here living in the city

With my man and my family

My island home

My island home

My island home is waiting for me

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 plain

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

And my island home is waiting for me

Aha

My home is Australia

We are a land bound by sea

Though I may travel far across the ocean

It will never forget me

My island home

My island home

My island home is waiting for me

My island home

My island home

My island home is waiting for me

My island home

My island home

My island home is surrounded by sea

My island home

My island home

My island home

My island home
