[Verse 1]
As the years draw
Lines over my face
Wherever they draw their lines
You'll still be the same place
Now I've heard you're called
Many and more names
But your name is on the wind
The leaves and the wood green
[Chorus]
It's home, home, home
Mile after mile I've pushed these feet
Still I can feel it pulling me
If Éire is calling, then I would come running
I would come running
'Cause sometimes I hear her when she speaks
Says, "If you love me, then why did you leave?"
It's 'cause I've got more to see
But I'll always be an islander
[Verse 2]
Now I go to the coast
'Cause that's where I'm home the most
As crazy as it may seem
The edge always centered me
The weather, it's wave on rock
Still water at Glendalough
Slieve League ripping through the sky
The gaps or the glens I see when I close my eyes
[Chorus]
I'm home, home, home
Mile after mile I'll push these feet
Still I can feel it pulling me
If Éire is calling, then I would come running
I would come running
'Cause sometimes I hear her when she speaks
Says, "If you love me, then why did you leave?"
It's 'cause I've got more to see
But I'll always be an islander
[Outro]
Well, I'll always be an islander
Yeah, I've got more to see
But I'll always be an islander
