The Hollies

The Hollies are an English pop group formed in Manchester in the early 1960s, although the majority of the band members came from towns in East Lancashire. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style, they became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s and early 1970s. They enjoyed considerable popularity in many countries, although they did not achieve major US chart success until 1966. They had 30 charting singles on the UK Singles Chart, and 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, with songs including, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", "Carrie Anne", "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" and "The Air That I Breathe". more »

Sailing on a summer breeze, going back to my island 
Nearly done my time, my life will be mine once again 
The distant past so far behind 
And I hope there hasn't been many changes 
'Cause I haven't seen my island for such a long time 

Oh, I want to breathe the air that's free 
Oh, I want to feel the warm sand beneath my feet 
And the sun on my face, oh

Couldn't say goodbye through no fault of mine to my loved ones
But sent a message through from my first port of call 
I was pressed into time by the men from the line 
They didn't tell me where I was going
And I haven't seen my island in such a long time 

Oh, I've sailed upon the seven seas 
Oh, you wouldn't believe the things I've seen 
When I get home I'll tell you, oh 

Oh, I want to breathe the air that's free 
Oh, I want to feel the warm sand beneath my feet 
And the sun on my face, yeah, oh

Sailing on a summer breeze, going back to my island 
Nearly done my time, my life will be mine once again 
The distant past so far behind 
And I hope there hasn't been many changes 
'Cause I haven't seen my island for such a long time, oh, oh, oh, oh
