Description
Wistful song about leaving a South Seas Island in search of a new life in New Zealand. Words and music by Tony Crowley
A ship bound for New Zealand has anchored in the bay
And we shall soon be leaving for a land that's far away
From this island of ours, beneath the stars, we're off to see the world.
Brothers and sisters say goodbye as we sail away.
The days we were hungry, the nights when we were sad
Are lost in the laughter of good times that we had
On this island of ours, beneath the stars, we're off to see the world.
Brothers and sisters say goodbye as we sail away.
The wind in the rigging, the seas along the shore
Take us to New Zealand but bring us home once more
Wherever we wander, we know we'll always find
Some time to remember the friends we left behind
On this island of ours, beneath the stars, we're off to see the world.
Brothers and sisters say goodbye as we sail away.
A ship sails for New Zealand as night falls round the bay
And we look back and wonder, was this really our last day
On this island of ours, beneath the stars, we're off to see the world.
Brothers and sisters say goodbye as we sail away.
The wind in the rigging, the seas along the shore
Take us to New Zealand but bring us home once more.
