Lyrics:

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 hill-top high above the Dark Island

Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee as the steamer leaves Oban, and passes Tiree
Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me when I'm back once more upon the Dark Island

So gentle the sea breeze’ that ripples the bay where the stream joins the ocean and young children play
On a strand of pure silver I'll welcome each day and I'll roam forever more the Dark Island.

Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee as the steamer leaves Oban, and passes Tiree
Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me when I'm back once more upon the Dark Island

Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee as the steamer leaves Oban, and passes Tiree
Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me when I'm back once more upon the Dark Island

True gem of the Hebrides bathed in the light like a midsummer dawning that follows the night
How I long for the cry, of the seagulls in flight as they circle high above’ the Dark Island

Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee as the steamer leaves Oban, and passes Tiree
Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me when I'm back once more upon the Dark Island

Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me when I'm back once more upon the Dark Island
When I'm back, once more upon, the Dark Island
