about

A song that touches upon the treatment and feelings of the exiled and dispossessed.

lyrics

In the heat of the sun
In the blue of the afternoon
There is nothing to keep us now
There is nothing to hold us down
And they can’t make us stay

There’s a picture I have of you
In a memory I hold onto
While others I must let go
You are smiling so sweet and slow
September September September September

In the pitch black of night
Marching so far from home
Or afloat on a foreign sea
I just want you next to me
You’re so far away

We are strangers in foreign lands
Just strangers with empty hands
Only handfuls of dust and dreams
Hollow handfuls of dust and dreams
October October October October

Some reach out their hands
and some give you barbed wire
Some see us as just the same
And some build the walls up higher
Bullets for stones

When the springtime has come around
Or maybe it all burns down
I can’t see the future now
No compass or maps somehow
November November November November
