The Hollies - My Island lyrics

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 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 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
