lyrics

These island nights will take us away
Lovers embrace and dance until day breaks
In the moonlight we sway to the beat of the sea
At midnight we play with the soft ocean breeze

These island nights give way to the light
On the tide in the dawn we will be gone
A young sailor boy who dreamed of conquering Troy
But all that I’ve learned, made me long to return
To these island nights

These island nights, my love in my arms
My children asleep, safe from all harm
Now the candle burns down, the wine brings the dreams
I'm an old sailor man, I will die free

These island nights were my guiding light
Back to my homeland shore with treasure in store
Out of fable and rhyme
On the wild waves of time
Returning to stay with these island nights
Whoaaaaaaa
These island nights give way to the light
On the tide in the dawn we will be gone
That young sailor boy who dreamed of conquering Troy
He's home to stay with these island nights
