(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)

Sailing on a summer breeze, going back to my island 

Nearly done my time, my life will be mine once again 

The distant past so far behind and I hope there hasn't been many changes 

'cos I haven't seen my island for such a long time 



Oh oh oh oh, I want to breathe the air that's free 

Oh oh oh oh, I want to feel the warm sand beneath my feet 

and the sun on my face, yeah 

Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh 



Couldn't say goodbye through no fault of mine to my loved ones

but sent a message through from my first port of call 

I was pressed into time by the men from the line 

They didn't tell me where I was going

and I haven't seen my island in such a long time 



Oh oh oh oh, I've sailed upon the seven seas 

Oh oh oh oh, you wouldn't believe the things I've seen 

When I get home I'll tell you 

Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh

verse 1 



Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
