£1 from every album to go to Care4Calais charity
No-one is illegal
I never did see a map of the route
After hundreds of miles I arrived on foot
At the sea so clear and blue by day
Never imagined the horrors that lay
For all of us there who had no choice
Strangled, drowned, deprived of a voice
In the blackness, the hellish void
And then to arrive and be safe at last
In Europe now we’d outrun our past
But no, we’ve been locked up en masse
Someone’s been telling these people some lies
Or not telling them just how badly ruined
All of our lives have become and how each one of them
Needs to open up their eyes
And not ignore the people’s cries
Repeating mistakes of the past is unwise
Second class citizens, ended lives
Avoiding western bombs from the sky
Trade agreements from on high
The flame of their hope is still burning so strong
Against the odds they’re travelling on
Would you leave your home and all that you know
To throw yourself on the road unknown?
Would you leave the comfort of your family and friends
To start a journey with no end?
Would you leave your home and all that you know
To throw yourself on the mercy of the road?

A delightful and well crafted album, and one of my top favorites. "When You're Gone I Say Your Name" is so beautiful, it just makes me pick up my concertina. Definitely music goals. :) MC
The ensemble of the instrumental songs is beautiful, and the sonorous male vocals are also good. He feels the history of settlement and immigration from Ireland to Appalachia. iwamo
