about

This song was originally written in 2014 and was re-recorded in 2023. It is a song for all the people trapped in situations of conflict or fear.
We hope for a world without borders, where people can live in freedom without fearing for their lives, and where international law is respected.

lyrics

Waltz with me darling waltz with me my love,
waltz with me sweetheart we're floating above
all of the death and destruction below, if
we were to fall and die no one would know

waltz with my darling waltz with me my girl, lets
dance to the airport and fly round the world
you laugh but I'm serious, one of these days,
we'll earn enough to escape from this place,

leave all this carnage and violence,
defy all those who wish to silence us

Hide with me darling hide with me my dear,
don't talk to loud or they might overhear,
all of the secrets my heart says to you
when will they leave us to live as we choose?

Run with me darling, lets set ourselves free
leave our fraught, dissected community
one of these days we'll be happy again
away from this tragedy, hardship and pain

but my love how could we

leave our community burning,
only the memories returning, if we
left all this carnage and violence,
who'd stand up to those who silence
us
