the refugee song

one handful of rags to remind me

i've come so far

to be a stranger

in a stranger's land

my life

my loves are all behind me

don't be surprised

if you only see me cry

till i go home

eyes full of dust

a heart full of nothing

a family gone

being here a living life

was our only sin

just pawns in a game

cast out to the four winds

don't be surprised

at the distrust in my eyes

till i go home

don't be surprised

at the distrust in my eyes

till i go home

and now what will i do

if i see my babies

will they recognise

unconditional love in their father's eyes?

what foreign tongue will form their phrases?

don't be surprised

if this heart inside me dies

before i go home
