Sometimes I find that the ghost from behind me won't go
You'd think by this time
You'd be gone from my mind
But it isn't so
Sometimes I hear your voice ringing clear on the radio
Hearing you tell words that I knew so well
Not so long ago
And though it's changed for us all
I know you will always be near
And though you watch from afar
I know where you are
You walk the homeland
I remember that night
Of that year when the tears wouldn't clear my eyes
I'd seen it before
Like a dream I'd ignore
It was no surprise
I tried to pretend that the madness would end and you'd realise
That all that was left was the whisper of d**h and your children's cries
And though it's changed for us all
I know you will always be near
And though you watch from afar
I know where you are
You walk the homeland
You slipped away like snow in a warm hand
You welcomed that warm hand
You made it too easy
