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

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

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 Oh oh oh oh
