"My Island Home" 
by Neil Murray.
Performed by Warumpi Band,
and also Christine Anu

Six years I've been in the city
And every night I dream of the sea
They say home is where you find it
Will this place ever satisfy me

For I come from the salt water people
We always live by the sea
Know I'm down here livin' in the city
With my man and the family

My island home My island home
My island home is waiting for me
My island home My island home
My island home is waiting for me

In the evening the dry wind blows
From the hills and across the plains
I close my eyes and I am standing
In a boat on the sea again
And I'm holding a long turtle spear
And I feel I'm close now to where it must be
My island home is waiting for me

For I come from the salt water people
We always live by the sea
Now I'm down here livin' in the city
With my man and the family
