Dark Island Lyrics - The Voyager - Mike Oldfield

Away to the westward 

I'm longing to be, 

Where the beauties of heaven 

Unfold by the sea; 

Where the sweet purple heather blooms 

Fragrant and free 

On a hilltop high above 

The Dark Island 

So gentle the sea breeze, 

That ripples the bay, 

Where the stream joins the ocean, 

And young children play; 

On the strand of pure silver, 

I'll welcome each day, 

And I'll roam for every more, 

The Dark Island

True gem of the Herbrides, 

Bathed in the light, 

Of the mid-summer dawning, 

That follows the night; 

How I yearn for the cries, 

Of the seagulls in flight, 

As they circle above 

The Dark Island
