lyrics

Refugee

And always shut the door to keep the dust out
Once you’ve made a stranger’s place a home
You’re talking real slow
It doesn’t help to understand you
Careful now
I don’t know what
But something’s wrong

How will you remember me
When I finally escape from what makes me a refugee

Fourteen rooms together make a big house
To always find it empty after work
And the work is never done
And the house’s not what it seems
I miss you more than ever after work

How will you remember me
When I finally escape from what makes me a refugee

She drew poems on her skin that no one could explain
She said it made her feel so pretty
Pretty, like the rain

So how will you remember me
When I finally escape from what makes me a refugee
Can’t think of anything that I wouldn’t like to say
To make you change your mind some way
