Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Over there across the river
Coming in over the sea
Flying in the soft sky
Washed up on the beach
Over across in the sand dunes
Up among the broken reeds
Up there past the rushes
In among the marshy weeds
Way up in the branches
Higher up than the trees
If you listen hard you can hear them sigh
Blowing in on the breeze
Saying come back
Baby come back
Come back
Baby come back
There's a place you can go when you're empty
The older you are and you get
If you concentrate you'll catch it
But sometimes you have to forget
And as the years make the hearing harder
There's a secret place that I know
Take my hand 'cross this blasted land
We can listen to them sigh and moan
Whisper come back
Baby come back
Come back
Baby come back
Where is your culture? It's been stolen
Where are your ideals? They've been stolen
Where is your nation? It's been stolen
Where is your language? Gone
Where are your traditions? Robbed
Where is your future? It's been stolen
Who are you now? We don't know
We are nothing now, we are gone
But whispered secret voices
We are only withdrawn
We're the shadows of what we were
We're a long long shadow
And in that shadow's a shape
And in that shape is a name
And where we hide it is dark
But in the dark it is warm
We are gone in this dark and we're safe
ย
When it's time
We'll come again
When it's time
We'll come again
When it's time
We'll come again
When it's time
We'll come again
Baby come back
Come back
Baby come back
