about

special request from Jeremy Sage

lyrics

i am so lonely here on this island made of greed
so far away from friendly drawls
it’s black and cold up here on this steely yankee sea
no gulf winds to calm my soul

you are home, you are home
isle dauphine, you are home

your bones are on the outside when they should not be at all
it was a scene that chilled those sailors' souls
but once they went & changed your name to sound like Louis' son
they came and claimed your every knoll

you are home, you are home,
isle dauphine, you are home

you survive the [Am]hurricanes
with Katrina's wrath, only split in twain
the sea will always pass you by
your enchanted shores in the storms' eye
your bay of birds, your lakes of blue
your fancy balls, but your haulers too
the fleur de lys is in your past
i am the son you have raised best

you are home, you are home,
isle dauphine, you are home
