The Refugee Song - 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
