From: InOBU Well, Joel, had a wee birthday party tonight at a restaurant, and we sent a guitar around the table to sing,very quietly, and the restaurant folks had a melt down, so how bout all you catters add a song for Joel... here is one from me... lets launch a Joel Landy session here, now don't forget his show is called songs of freedom... The Lost Asylum Seeker words Lorcan Otway all rights reserved, tune traditional Davie Colsen... I feared for my life so I did flee, I did flee I feared for my life so I did flee I flew far across the sea, to the land of liberty I did flee, I did flee I came to the USA, I asked to stay, let me stay I came to the USA, please let me stay In chains I was led away, for what crime they did not say did not say, did not say I was alone and scared in that jail, in that jail I was alone and scared in that jail, No friends face did I er'e see, in the land of the free they jailed me, they jailed me I lost all track of time, months and days, months and days I lost all track of time, months and days I almost longed to go, to that hell I used to know I longed to die, longed to die They say many were sent back, were sent back, were sent back they say many were sent back, were sent back Sent back to their former foe for what cause I do not know, do not know, do not know I longed to see that statue with the light, with the light I longed to see that statue with the light But now I long to see the sun, before my oppressor's gun back at home, back at home. |
