Messina-Tate 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 the crime or the hustle and greed. There's so much that 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 the hand of the woman 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 that I remember Like the simple joys and breathing the clean 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.
