Day by day they drink and dream,
Old men staring out to sea,
From the island, living on the island;And down in the harbour, it's a show,
Watching all the people as they come and go,
On the island, living on the island;And up in the mountains, they're alright,
Tasting the first of the summer wine,
On the island, living on the island;I wanna feel that sunshine in my heart,
And let it blow my worries away,
I wanna spend a night in the ocean with her,That little lady lover
Who's in love with me,
Prettiest little lady that I've ever seen,
On the island, living on the island...Ooh, and when I finally sail away,
I know for sure I'll be back someday,
On the island, living on the island,
On the island, living on the island,
I wanna feel that sunshine on my back,
On the island, living on the island,
On the island, we'll be living on the island,
I wanna feel that wind blow in my hair,
Living on the island...
