Meaning Layer
Heart of the Island sits in the island layer of the project: place, belonging, summer energy, and the way a local home can hold a much larger cosmology without becoming abstract.
Lyrics
VVerse 1 There’s something in the way the ocean sighs, That tells me this love is more than time. From the shores of Minjerribah to the Point so high, Every wave feels like you and I. We found each other in the island’s embrace, Now I can’t imagine another place. Chorus You’re the heart of the island, beating strong, Like the waves that roll, we’re where we belong. In the sand, in the sea, under Straddie’s sky, This love will never say goodbye. You’re the heart of the island, my sweet refrain, With you, love, I feel no pain. Verse 2 Every sunset over Goompi’s shore, I see our love, and I want more. The breeze that brushes through the trees, It whispers your name on every breeze. We’re part of something deep and true, Like this island’s heart, I’m bound to you. Chorus You’re the heart of the island, beating strong, Like the waves that roll, we’re where we belong. In the sand, in the sea, under Straddie’s sky, This love will never say goodbye. You’re the heart of the island, my sweet refrain, With you, love, I feel no pain. Bridge We’re like the tides that rise and fall, But through it all, we hear the call. The island knows, it always knew, That my heart beats only for you. Chorus You’re the heart of the island, beating strong, Like the waves that roll, we’re where we belong. In the sand, in the sea, under Straddie’s sky, This love will never say goodbye. You’re the heart of the island, my sweet refrain, With you, love, I feel no pain. Outro So let’s stay here, where the world is still, With you, my love, I’ve found my will. You’re the heart of the island, and you’re mine, Together, we’ll stand the test of time. ---
