《Island In The Sun》歌词

[00:00:00] Island In The Sun - The Houghton Weavers

[00:00:09] This is my island in the sun

[00:00:12] Where my people have toiled since time begun

[00:00:17] I may sail on many a sea

[00:00:20] Her shores will always be home to me

[00:00:25] Oh island in the sun

[00:00:29] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:00:33] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:00:36] Of your forest waters

[00:00:38] Your shining sand

[00:00:43] As morning breaks

[00:00:44] The heaven on high

[00:00:47] I lift my heavy load to the sky

[00:00:51] Sun comes down with a burning glow

[00:00:55] Mingles my sweat with the earthly low

[00:01:00] Oh island in the sun

[00:01:03] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:01:07] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:01:11] Of your forest waters

[00:01:13] Your shining sand

[00:01:18] I see woman on bended knee

[00:01:22] Cutting cane for her family

[00:01:26] I see man at the water-side

[00:01:30] Casting his nets at the surfing tide

[00:01:34] Oh island in the sun

[00:01:38] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:01:42] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:01:45] Of your forest waters

[00:01:48] Your shining sand

[00:01:52] I pray the day will never come

[00:01:56] And I can't awake to the sound of drum

[00:02:01] Never let me miss carnaval

[00:02:04] With calypso songs

[00:02:06] Philosophical

[00:02:09] Oh island in the sun

[00:02:13] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:02:17] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:02:20] Of your forest waters

[00:02:22] Your shining sand

[00:02:25] Oh island in the sun

[00:02:29] Willed to me by my father's hand

[00:02:33] All my days I will sing in praise

[00:02:36] Of your forest waters

[00:02:39] Your shining sand
