I come from the salt water people
We always live by the sea
They say home is where you find it
Will this place ever satisfy me?
N’ my island home
My island home
My island home
Is waiting for me
N’ my island home
My island home
My island home
Is waiting for me
Six years I lived in the desert
And every night
I dreamt of the sea
Now I’m down here living in the city
With all
Of my family
N’ my island home
My island home
My island home
Is waiting for me
N’ 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 plains
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
My island home is
Waiting for me
My home is Australia
We are a land bound by sea
Though I may travel far across the ocean
It will never forget me
N’ my island home
My island home
My island home
Is waiting for me
N’ my island home
My island home
My island home
Is waiting for me
N’ my island home
My island home
My island home
Is surrounded by sea
