As the years draw
Lines over my face
Wherever they draw their lines
You'll still be the same place
I've heard you called
Many and more names
But your name is on the wind
The leaves and the wood grain
It's home, home, home
Mile after mile I'll push these feet
Still I can feel it pulling me
If Éireann is calling I would come running
I would come running (I would come, I would come running)
Sometimes I hear her when she speaks
She says, "If you love me then why did you leave?"
It's 'cause I've got more to see
But I'll always be an Islander
Now I go to the coast
'Cause that's where I'm home the most
As crazy as it may seem
The edge always centred me
But whether it's wave on rock
Still water at Glendalough
Slieve League ripping through the sky
The Gaps or the Glens I see when I close my eyes
I'm home, home, home
Mile after mile I'll push these feet
Still I can feel it pulling me
If Éireann is calling I would come running
I would come running (I would come, I would come running)
Sometimes I hear her when she speaks
She says, "If you love me then why did you leave?"
It's 'cause I've got more to see
But I'll always be an Islander (I would come running)
I'll always be an Islander (I would come, I would come running)
Yea I've got more to see
But I'll always be an Islander
