(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 2      Verse 1      Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
