I've taken walks by the rolling sea
Where the cliffs drop down to the big blue deep
I've breathed in the air that rolls over these hills
I breathe it in but I've had my fill

I've gotta roll, roll away
Maybe I'll return to this island some day
Roll, roll away
Maybe I'll return to this island some day


From the towns to the ports to my thatched hill-top house
I've never felt as safe as I do right now
But I know there's a world waiting out there
I'll rush head first to it, on a wing and a prayer

I've gotta roll, roll away
Maybe I'll return to this island some day
Roll, roll away
Maybe I'll return to this island some day

I love this place with my breath and my bones
I'll always call this island my home
But I know when the day comes to way my farewell
I will return with a story to tell

I've gotta roll, roll away
Maybe I'll return to this island some day
Roll, roll away
Maybe I'll return to this island some day

I've gotta roll, roll away
Maybe I'll return to this island some day
Roll, roll away
Maybe I'll return to this island some day
