The Jewel In The Sea

You’re walking along a wind-swept seafront with the cold north wind in your hair.
You’re looking out over the restless sea all you ever seem to do is stare.
Over there beyond the white-flecked waves and the mist that spoils your view.
Like a jewel in the sea is your country of old, the place that means everything to you.
You may like the place that you’re living in now
But the place you really want to be, is your country of birth.
Yeah the place you grew up, the jewel in the sea.

Back to the jewel in the sea.
The place that means everything to me.
A land that is beautiful and free.
Back to the jewel in the sea.

You’re wondering you ever went away, you’re missing everything you’ve known.
Silly little things like the lake down in the park and wondering if the trees have grown.
You miss the food and the friendly atmosphere, the morning papers and the tea.
You’re getting homesick cos you’re thinking back, of the jewel in the sea.

Back to the jewel in the sea.
The place that means everything to me.
A land that is beautiful and free.
Back to the jewel in the sea.

You’ve made up your mind, go down the travel agency and book a ticket on the plane.
You’re happier now than you’ve been for several years, ‘cos you’re going back home again.
You’ve been a traveler for quite a few years, but you’re going where you want to be.
Back to the place where you were born and bred, back to the jewel in the sea.

Back to the jewel in the sea.
The place that means everything to me.
A land that is beautiful and free.
Back to the jewel in the sea.
