Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And now, describe my country as if to strangers
This train is full of songs of local winners
And the wind surrounds the towers
The flags, they are blowin'
And the bunting and the distance stretches over our sound
[Verse 2]
And when he teases the children
He calls them orphans
And he cries for all the flowers of the forest
In his head, there is no reason to be sad about the garden
But his heart bleeds very often for things forgotten like little orphans
Like little orphans
Written by: Ewen Vernal, Ricky Ross
