Verse 1-
Helen of the west, Lady of the sea
Island of St Lucia, Jewel of the Caribbean
You speak her beauty, and though I've never been
Island sun will shine on me when you smile again
Chorus-
I'm no island boy, but when you look at me
blue waves roll through my soul on Caribbean seas
I'm no island boy, but I love my island girl
I've never been but looking in your eyes I see (I feel) that world
Verse 2-
Volcano made with mountains tall and sure
As our love grows through time we are just like her
Small... surrounded by sea but never afraid
She's one strong island, volcano made
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Helen of the west
Lady of the sea
Island of St Lucia
Jewel of the Caribbean
Verse 3-
I stay amazed That fate flew you here
on sweet sea breezes still lingering in your hair
Repeat Chorus
Tag: I've never been, but looking in your eyes I know that world
