Lyrics of Adieu to my island

I must bid adieu to my island
Leave the nights by the sea
My heart is heavy inside me
Bow down just like the palm tree

The nights may be warm in hawaii
And the sun may shine on rome
But the steel bands are playing in trinidad
And my heart tells me that's home

I must bid adieu to my island
Leave the nights by the sea
My heart is heavy inside me
Bow down just like the palm tree

I've traveled around on the sailing ships
From barbados to bombay
But the laughter in the market in trinidad
Tells me that's where i should stay

The sun's comin' out of the ocean now
In an hour i'll be gone
Watch from the mountain when the ships sail in
For the one that i'll be on

I must bid adieu to my island
Leave the nights by the sea
My heart is heavy inside me
Bow down just like the palm tree
