My island in the sea

 There's a land I want to visit

And it's sinking very fast

It's an island way out to sea

There's a place I'd like to be in

And it's a blinking on a mast

And it's a rocking on the rolling sea

So come and see me on my island in the ocean

Come and visit or forever set me free

For I have no more use of the mainland

Oh that pained land where love just conquers me

I am leaving, I am leaving

On the next ship from the harbour

I have nothing left to tie me here

There's a place where I'll be safe from

All that love's lost and laboured

And I'll not return til I have forgotten her

So come and see me on my island in the ocean

Come and visit or forever set me free

For I have no more use of the mainland

Oh that pained land where love just conquers me
