HOLLIES - My Island lyrics

rate me

(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
