Lyrics
Two Islands
Words: Fred Elkins & Charles MacConnach

Verse 1
From riverside to seaside
Islands of two types
Both completely different both completely right
You know I am the lucky one
It seems I have it all
Two latitudes same attitude
The islands of my mind they call
Chorus
Two islands that have set me free
Both of them calling me
Calling me
To come home
Two islands that have set me free
Both of them calling me
Calling me
To come home
Verse 2
From Normans up to Highbourne Cay
The southern breezes flow
The emerald tropic waters hold the treasures few will know
But other times with pure delight
I watch the brown trout rise
The crystal clear river runs
Who knows the next surprise
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
My life is halfway over now
But I finally hit my stride
With white clouds north and blue seas south
I ride the ebbing tide
So come along I’ll share with you
Through rhythm and through rhyme
All the hidden beauty in the islands in my mind
Repeat Chorus
