Lyrics
(Hammill)
North was somewhere years ago and cold: Ice locked the people's hearts and made them old South was birth to pleasant lands, but dry: I walked the waters' depths and played my mind East was dawn, coming alive in the golden sun: The winds came, gently, several heads became one In the summertime, though august people sneered; We were at peace, and we cheered
We walked alone, sometimes hand in hand Between the thin lines marking sea and sand; Smiling very peacefully We began to notice that we could be free And we moved together to the west
West is where all days will someday end; Where the colours turn from grey to gold And you can be with the friends And light flakes the golden clouds above all; West is mike and susie West is where I love
There we shall spend our final days of our lives; Tell the same old stories: yeah well, at least we tried Into the west, smiles on our faces, we'll go; Oh, yes, and our apologies to those Who'll never really know the way
We're refugees, walking away from the life That we've known and loved; Nothing to do or say, nowhere to stay; now we are alone We're refugees, carrying all we own In brown bags, tied up with string; Nothing to think, it doesn't mean a thing But we'll be happy on our own West is mike and susie; West is where I love West is refugees' home
