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
