Emigration Song

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
