You walk along the wind swept seafront,
With the cold North wind in your hair
You're looking out over, the restless sea,
All you ever seem to do is stare,
Over there beyond the white speckled waves,
And through the mist that spoils your view,
Like a jewel in the sea, is your country of old,
The place that means everything to you
Chorus:
Back to the jewel in the sea
The place that means everything to me
A land that was beautiful and free
Back to the jewel in the sea
You're sitting wondering why you ever went away,
You're missing everything you've known
Silly little things like the lake down in the park,
And wondering if the trees have grown
You miss the food, and the friendly atmosphere,
You miss the morning papers and the tea
You're getting homesick, 'cause you're thinking back,
of the jewel in the sea
(Chorus)
You've made up your mind, to go down to the travel agency
Book a ticket for the plane
You're happier now than you've been for several years,
Because you're going back home again
You've been a traveller now, for quite a few years,
But you're going where you want to be
Back to the place, where you were born and bred,
Back to the jewel in the sea
(Chorus)
With the cold North wind in your hair
You're looking out over, the restless sea,
All you ever seem to do is stare,
Over there beyond the white speckled waves,
And through the mist that spoils your view,
Like a jewel in the sea, is your country of old,
The place that means everything to you
Chorus:
Back to the jewel in the sea
The place that means everything to me
A land that was beautiful and free
Back to the jewel in the sea
You're sitting wondering why you ever went away,
You're missing everything you've known
Silly little things like the lake down in the park,
And wondering if the trees have grown
You miss the food, and the friendly atmosphere,
You miss the morning papers and the tea
You're getting homesick, 'cause you're thinking back,
of the jewel in the sea
(Chorus)
You've made up your mind, to go down to the travel agency
Book a ticket for the plane
You're happier now than you've been for several years,
Because you're going back home again
You've been a traveller now, for quite a few years,
But you're going where you want to be
Back to the place, where you were born and bred,
Back to the jewel in the sea
(Chorus)
