Refuge lyrics
Refuge lyrics
When I was a girl we’d skate in the night
Like Sufi dancers round the firelight
Elton John singing from the speakers above
Falling on my knees wished I was falling in love
Walking home under the Northern lights
You could see clear cross the world to the other side
The snow fell so still like music to the ground
And I’d take refuge in that holy sound
(Chorus:)
I take refuge, I take refuge, I take refuge in that holy sound
I take refuge, I take refuge, I take refuge in that holy sound
Now I’m skating on ice that is dangerously thin
Trying not to show the world the shape I’m in
I’m an orphan in a land carved of misery
I’ve been pampered but I feel just like a refugee
Through a thousand t.v. stations
Cross the static lines
And the virtual creations that stimulate my mind
I run to where you’re sleeping, where there’s no-one around
And I take refuge in that holy sound
(Chorus)
Like a hobo waiting for that final train
Like the thunder in the desert just before it rains
I keep one eye on the future, my ear to the ground
And I take refuge in that holy sound
I keep one eye on the future my ear to the ground
And I take refuge in that holy sound
