Story behind the song
I wrote it a long time ago, as I am myself of Ukrainian and Irish decent, both countries with a history of refugees fleeing from war and or poverty due to circumstances outside their control. It describes how anyone living normal lives like us can have their lives changed overnight. The Balkan conflict was happening at the time I wrote this so it was on my mind.
Lyrics
I feel the Eastwind kiss my face I hear the long grass give a sigh Reminds me of a distant place Unchanged untamed untouched by time. I’m in a bad situation Can’t go home any more And then I hear explanation Declaration of war. The music floats down from the sky Illumination from the Sun Winged figures dancing as they fly Like them I feel like having fun. Then I awake and remember I’m no longer with you I’ve joined the Refugee Nation Can’t believe this is true. I try forgetting for a while But that’s the way it had to be I like remembering your smile And I’ll remember you remembering me. I try to write you a letter For what it is worth And then I hear of our town Wiped of the face of this earth. I hear the Eastwind kiss my face I hear the long grass give a sigh Reminds me of a distant place Untamed unchanged untouched by time…... © S. Pasicznyk. 1999
