EMIgration Song - Moke

There’s been a lot between us

Such a lot between us

And somehow the road ahead got closed

I left the home of a lifetime

And even now I’d have to walk the same line

Knowing the road ahead will close

I wish I’d stayed when you asked me

But I was so young and carefree

Not knowing that the road ahead could close

chorus:

If only I could face my fear

Then you could wipe away the tear

That’s spent so long on mother’s cheek

Lets raise the flag and sing the song

To keep the home fires burning on

What we have we’ll never give away

So i tried to move a mountain

So many now, that I’ve stopped counting

And always the road ahead is closed

They tried to cover their traces

They lied to hide their faces

But someday their road ahead will close

If only I could face my fear

Then you could wipe away the tear

That’s spent so long on mother’s cheek

Lets raise the flag and sing the song

To keep the home fires burning on

What we have we’ll never give away

Lets raise the flag and sing the song

To keep the home fires burning on

For what we have we’ll never give away

Lets raise the flag and sing the song

To keep the home fires burning on

For what we have we’ll never give away

There’s been a lot between us

Such a lot between us

And somehow the road ahead got closed

I left the home of a lifetime

And even now I’d have to walk the same line

Knowing the road ahead will close

Always the road, always the road
