I am wrapped in a strange enchantment,
Caught in an island spell,
Snared by an age-old magic
Of a love no words can tell.
Caught in an island spell,
Snared by an age-old magic
Of a love no words can tell.
Not for me the far-away places,
Not for me the thirst to roam,
The tug at my hungry heartstrings
Is the call of my island home.
Not for me the thirst to roam,
The tug at my hungry heartstrings
Is the call of my island home.
I am drowned in her great, green waters,
Burnt by her golden sun,
Dazed by her starry heavens
When her purple dusks are done
Burnt by her golden sun,
Dazed by her starry heavens
When her purple dusks are done
I have drunk the wine of her moonlight,
I have lain at her breast thro the years,
I have shared her joys and her laughter,
I have bled with her sorrow's tears.
I have lain at her breast thro the years,
I have shared her joys and her laughter,
I have bled with her sorrow's tears.
I have lain on her yellow beaches
With my ear to a fragile shell,
And heard in its low sweet murmur
My wordless island spell.
With my ear to a fragile shell,
And heard in its low sweet murmur
My wordless island spell.
