The Hollies - My Island lyrics
[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
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
