Refugees

North was somewhere years ago, 
  Am     G
and cold:
        F                      
        ice locked the people's 
             Dm             G
hearts, and made them old.
C                  G          G7
South was birth to pleasant 
       Am    G
lands, but dry:
        F                          
        I walked the waters' depths
     Dm              G
 and played my mind.
C              G        G7       
East was dawn, coming alive in 
  Am           G
the golden sun:
        F                     
        the winds came gently, 
                Dm         G
several heads became one.
C                         G   
In the summertime, though August 
     G7   Am          G
people sneered...
        F                        
        we were at peace, and we 
Dm        G
cheered.

We walked along, sometimes hand in

between the thin lines, marking sea 
and sand;

smiling very peacefully,

we began to notice that we could be 
free,
           C       G      F (and 
some chord swifts I dont know)
and we moved together
F      E
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 the final days 
of our lives...
        tell the same old stories: 
well, at least we tried.
So 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.
