Living In Exile

There's ice on the window there's a wolf at the door There's a harsh wind that blows Down through the rafters and up through the floors Here's a place where nobody goes There's ice on your heart There's snow on the ground There's danger and treachery and it's all around. There's so many people around you But still you can feel alone Rocking reeling drunk and disorderly Feeling so far from home The streets they spread out around you Like a Chinese puzzle No faces familiar in this hustle and bustle Living in exile and you can't go back Living in exile and you can't go... Kiri-Anne lives down by the riverside On the banks of the Waikato Look through the windows of her caravan And watch that mighty water flow Those old ghosts behind us We try to start a new The mist it rolls off the mountain-side And I see what she always knew That we're living in exile and we can't go back We're living in exile and we can't go back. Exiled from feelings and emotions Divorced from dreams and mystery Romance lies buried and forgotten Like Atlantis in the deep blue sea Exiled from the joy within us Dance to the drum of reality Old ways now buried and forgotten Destroyed by humanity Living in exile and you can't go back Living in exile and you can't go back Living in exile living in exile Living in exile and you can't go No you can't go, no you can't go You can't go, you can't go back.
