Lyrics
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 water's 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, the August people stared
We were at peace and we'd shared
We walked along, sometimes hand in hand
Between the thin lines marking sea and sand
Sun in a peaceful day
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 a friend
And light plagues the golden clouds up above
Yeah, West is Mike and Suzy
West is where I love
And there we shall spend the final days of our lives
Tell the same old stories, yeah, well, at least we tried
We'll head to the West, smiles on our faces will guide
But all 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 nor say, nowhere to stay
Now we are alone
We're refugees carrying all we own in the bags tied up with string
Want nothing to think, it doesn't mean a thing
We can be happy on our own
West is Mike and Suzy
West is Mike and Suzy
West is where I love
West is refugees' home
