|
They poured across the borders |
|
We were cautioned to surrender |
|
This I could not do |
|
Into the hills I vanished |
|
No one ever asks me |
|
Who I am or where I'm going |
|
But those of you who know |
|
You cover up my footprints |
|
I have changed my name so often |
|
I have lost my wife and children |
|
But I have many friends |
|
And some of them are with me |
|
An old woman gave us shelter |
|
Kept us hidden in a garrett |
|
And then the soldiers came |
|
She died without a whisper |
|
There were three of us this morning |
|
And I'm the only one this ev'ning |
|
Still I must go on |
|
Frontiers are my prison |
|
Oh the winds, the winds are blowing |
|
Thru the graves the winds are blowing |
|
Freedom soon will come! |
|
Then we'll come from the shadow. |
