The Refugee Song
Danny Mitchell, Midge Ure
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 fuor 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
'Til 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
