The Refugee Song Songtext
von 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
