Lyrics Refugees (John Peel Session / 1971) - Van Der Graaf Generator
North
was
somewhere
years
ago
and
cold
Ice
locked
the
people's
hearts
and
made
them
old
South
was
birth
to
pleasant
lands,
but
dry
I
walked
the
waters'
depths
and
played
my
mind
East
was
dawn,
coming
alive
in
the
golden
sun
The
winds
came,
gently,
several
heads
became
one
In
the
summertime,
though
August
people
sneered
We
were
at
peace,
and
we
cheered
We
walked
alone,
sometimes
hand
in
hand
Between
the
thin
lines
marking
sea
and
sand
Smiling
very
peacefully
We
began
to
notice
that
we
could
be
free
And
we
moved
together
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
all
West
is
Mike
and
Susie
West
is
where
I
love
There
we
shall
spend
our
final
days
of
our
lives
Tell
the
same
old
stories,
yeah
well
At
least
we
tried
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
or
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
