Have you walked on the city street
And looked close at the people you meet
Is there a trace of a smilin' face
That you can see
I recall how it used to be
When the poor were free to be
I remember the time
When there wasn't a crime
Or the hustle and greed
There's so much I remember
Like the simple joy
Of knowing your neighbour next door
I long to see the rainbows
As they bridge across the sky
And hold tha hand of the woman
That I love so
Take me back to the place the leeward face of
the island
To the sunset skies and the smiling eyes I love
Just as sure as the sun up above is brightly shining
I'll be flying again like a gull on the wind
I'll be coming home to you
There's so much I remember
Like the simple joys
And breathing the clear fresh air
I long to see the deep blue bay
From the black cliffs by the sea
And hold the hand of the woman
I love so
Take me back to the place the leeward face
of the island
To the moonlit nights And the harbour lights I love
Just as sure as the stars up above are
brightly shining
I'll be flying again like a gull on the wind
I'll be coming home to you
I'll be flying again like a gull on the wind
I'll be coming home to you
