RefugeeThis used to be a ghost townBut even the ghosts got out And the sound of the highway died There's ashes in the swimming pool I saw you on your wedding night And I watched you sleeping in my arms You didn't wash your make-up off And you woke up looking scared as hell My love won't change My love won't change My love won't change a thing You're never coming back to me You're never coming back at all And the waiter made a young girl cry At the table next to mine tonight And I know you would have brought him to his knees But you're overseas Doesn't seem so long ago When we thought we could change their minds We'd stay here and fight it out With a love that we could weaponize But I saw you losing faith And I was watching when the light went out You know what revolution means And you know it's not an option now And our love won't change Our love won't change Our love won't change a thing I couldn't leave my father here To finish up his life alone And I saw you in our daughter's eyes last night When she caught me in a lie And I need you here to make both of us believe But you're overseas Does your heart rest easy where you are? And do they treat you like a star? Or do they call you refugee From overseas? |
