	C	G	G7	Am	G
	North was somewhere	years ago,	and	cold:

	F	Dm	G
	ice locked the people's hearts, and	made them old.

	C	G	G7	Am	G
	South was birth to	pleasant la	nds, but	dry:

	F	Dm	G
	I walked the waters' depths and	played my mind.

	C	G	G7	Am	G
	East was dawn,	coming al	ive in the	golden sun:

	F	Dm	G
	the winds came gently, several heads b	ecame one.

	C	G	G7	Am	G
	In the summertime, though	August pe	ople	sneered...

	F	Dm	G
	we were at peace, and we	cheered.

	C
	We walked along, sometimes hand in hand,

	Am
	between the thin lines, marking sea and sand;

	C
	smiling very peacefully,

	Am
	we began to notice that we could be free,

C G F (and some chord swifts I dont know)

and we moved together

	F	E
	to the	West.

West is where all days will someday end;

where the colours turn from grey to gold,

and you can be with the friends.

And light flakes the golden clouds above:

West is Mike and Susie,

West is where I love.

There we shall spend the final days of our lives...

tell the same old stories: well, at least we tried.

So into the West, smiles on our faces, we'll go;

oh! yes, and our apologies to those

who'll never really know the Way.

We're refugees, walking away from the life that we've known

and loved...

nothing to do nor say, nowhere to stay; now we are alone.

We're refugees, carrying all we own in brown bags,

tied up with string...

nothing to think, it doesn't mean a thing, but we'll be happy

on our own.

West is Mike and Susie;

West is where I love,

West is refugees' home.

Have fun!

Peace,

Ofir
