the migrant and the refugee - shona laing lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the lowlands bordering
mosquito netted dream
under an asian sky
a black limousine
for a refugee
and the migrant is mobilised

[chorus]
happy to stay with that open door
sailor leaving the sea behind
but the border is closed
as the tent city grows
the border is home tonight

[verse 2]
a stranger and a friend
with stranded time to spend
longing for greener climes
defoliant despair
it’s neither here nor there
beholden to the appetite

[chorus]
never taken a day before
to touch cross the border
it may be too late
to love the hate
not enough to want for more
[saxophone solo]

[verse 3]
and peacetime radiates
that the world won’t wait
until the wind blows clean
we bargain and bet
over continents
the migrant and the refugee

[chorus]
happy to stay with that open door
sailor leaving the sea behind
but the border is closed
as the tent city grows
the border is home tonight
oh the border is closed
as the tent city grows
the border is home tonight
