Last night I was dreaming you were here by my side, here by my side to hold my hand.

We walked down the island we were hand in hand you kissed me for a while then disappeared.

Then shortly after I awoke surrounded by my fears, no one there to hold you close no one there to catch the falling tears.

Pre chorus

Fi li di to Innis Oir, fi li doe to Innis Meain, it's a long and winding road that takes me home.

Chorus

Island Girl oh Island Girl, my heart belongs to you my Island Girl.

Last night I was sleeping you were there by my side, there by the light to understand.

We have all been through heartache too frightened to tell, cast a magic spell to set them free.

So shortly after I awoke, surrounded by my home, alone in rock and water stand wishing you were there to hold my hand.

Fi li di to Innis Oir, fi li doe to Innis Meain, it's a long and winding road that takes us home.

Chorus

Island Girl oh Island Girl, my heart belongs to you my Island Girl.

Bridge.

Too late I was thinking of the love that we had at times it made us sad and set us free.

Maybe you don't know it but I'm holding on for you out on a sea of blue I await for you.

It's often I am lonely without your arms to hold me, without your love around me now my twenty colour blue my Island Girl.

Chorus

Island Girl oh Island Girl, my heart belongs to you my Island Girl, oh my twenty colour blue my Island Girl, won't you please come back to me my Island Girl.
