This Is My Island
Elizabeth Land & Joseph Frenken
© 1971 Mersey Music

I wake up in the morning with the dawning
My mind is damp and foggy as the dew.
I look across the fields to find
The flowers growing there are mine,
And all the world is shining bright and new;
So come and see the red clay of my Island
That bursts in bloom before it's even spring.
The days are warm, the nights are cool,
You'll find there's fish in every pool
And you can hear a thousand robins sing...
 
Chorus
This is my Island, and it's good for love,
It's good for anyone you care to bring.
This is my island, Prince Edward Island,
It's good for love and our windows.
 
Sitting on doorstep in the twilight
This is where I know I want to be
I take my rest at end of day
With moonlight splashing on the bay
As I gaze across the headlands to the sea.
From afar I hear the waves a-pounding
Crashing and then dying on the shore.
Memories of the olden days
When schooners sailed in quiet bays
Remind me I won't leave here anymore
  Repeat Chorus twice
