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
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 stay
Some day I'll return
To my own distant shore
And from the dear island I'll wander no more
Till the day that I die
I shall no longer roam
For that lovely dark island
Will be my last home
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 stay
That lovely dark island
Where memories stay...
