I will write you one last time
You will be here in the morning
On the North Atlantic swell
There's a wind in off the sea
Enough to keep me waking
Enough to make me think
We will say no more farewells
All the words that pass between us
A line of pale blue letters
To the waves around Lands End
Now you're following that line
Enveloped by the darkness
You'll find me waiting
When you reach its end
All the ones who ran from war
All the wealthy and the wounded
That have landed on this shore
They don't mean a thing to me
All that matters is the one
Who will be with me tomorrow
It's a lonely heart that loves the refugee
You've left behind your home
I have left behind my family
With the strength to start anew
There's a world here for the taking
A safe and steady harbour
There's a million things to think of
But tonight I'll think of you
Well, it's immigrants we are
This land has known no other
A million more will follow on
An endless wave is washing
On this rocky coastline
Carving features in the landscape
Fanning out and moving on
All the ones who ran from war
All the wealthy and the wounded
That have landed on this shore
They don't mean a thing to me
All that matters is the one
Who will be with me tomorrow
It's a lonely heart that loves the refugee
Tomorrow morning you'll look out
You will see this lovely coastline
It will seem like open arms
And those arms will enfold you
Sweep you safe into the harbour
Deliver you from loneliness and harm
Tomorrow morning I will climb
Upon the hill above the harbour
To where the heaven meets the sea
When the ship has come in sight
I will run down to the dockside
And welcome here just one more refugee
All the ones who ran from war
All the wealthy and the wounded
That have landed on this shore
They don't mean a thing to me
All that matters is the one
Who will be with me tomorrow
It's a lonely heart that loves the refugee
It's a lonely heart that loves the refugee
