Dreaming of the north Songtext
a journey no man should make
hiding by day, walking by night
weeks and months a blur of hunger
thirst, sickness, violence and fear
europe closes one door
the smugglers open another
putting food in their bellies will not stop them
putting food in their bellies will not stop them
her name was gloria
she was sixteen years old and pregnant
by her murdered husband
she had contractions but the baby came feet-first
gloria took
three hours to die
she was buried with her baby inside her
under leaves - because the ground was too hard
dreaming of the north
dreaming of the north
keep dreaming, yes, keep dreaming of
keep dreaming, yes, keep dreaming of the north
hiding by day, walking by night
weeks and months a blur of hunger
thirst, sickness, violence and fear
europe closes one door
the smugglers open another
putting food in their bellies will not stop them
putting food in their bellies will not stop them
her name was gloria
she was sixteen years old and pregnant
by her murdered husband
she had contractions but the baby came feet-first
gloria took
three hours to die
she was buried with her baby inside her
under leaves - because the ground was too hard
dreaming of the north
dreaming of the north
keep dreaming, yes, keep dreaming of
keep dreaming, yes, keep dreaming of the north
