This Is My Island – Celebrate 80

Words and Music by Elizabeth Lane and Joseph Frenken, Prince Edward Island

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 every growing thing.

Sitting on my 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.

Mem’ries of the olden days,

When schooners sailed in quiet bays,

Remind me I won’t leave here anymore. Chorus
