Refugee's Song
I caught a last glimpse of you, moonlit home
Through a dusty window, when my eyes closed
I open them far, far away, alone.
An ocean and ten mountains from that night,
That glimpse of you still burns my closed eyelids
‘Tis a strange land around me in sunlight.
Drops of rain fall from a sky not my own
My fists have been clenched since I left your doors
I open them far, far away, alone.
My only solace is silver starlight –
You’re my last piece of home, glittering sky
‘Tis a strange land around me in sunlight.
Only under your light am I back home
My eyes closed, I’m there in the golden dust
I open them far, far away, alone.
Beauty in chaos are my dreams at night
In them I live; day is oblivion
My feet in stumble and my mind in flight
‘Tis a strange land around me in sunlight.
