THE DARK ISLAND
(Stewart Ross)

In the years long gone by
When I first left my home
I was young and I wanted
The wide world to roam;
But now I am older
And wiser, you see,
For that lovely dark island
Is calling to me.

cho: Though I've wandered away
From the land of my birth,
And been roaming around
To the ends of the earth,
Still my heart is at home
In that land far away
That lovely dark island
Where memories stray.
With a sorrowful heart
I look back through the years
When I think of that island
My eyes fill with tears
Once again then I long
For the land I adore
That lovely dark island
I long for once more

One day I'll return
To that far-distant shore,
And from that dark island
I'll wander no more.
'Til the day that I die
I will no longer roam
For that lovely dark island
Will be my last home.
