Refugees - Remastered

Lyrics

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 along, 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
 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 nor 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 Mike and Susie
 West is where I love
 West is refugees' home
