The Cat's Back - Home

I can't go back, no no
I can't go back, home

My country has changed
This it is not how I thought
My life would be

I can't go back, no no
I can't go back, back home

Where my sister and I
Ran through the wet sand
And than we ran back again
To take our little brother by the hand

Oranges and olives hanging from the trees
Every neighbour a friend
How could I have known
This would come to an end

I can't go back, to the place I used to know
I can't go back, to the land I used to know

See, my vegetable garden 's been trampled
The chickens are all dead
My house has been burned to the ground
And the day went dark

Since my husband vanished with the wind
My sons were taken away from me
My daughters, oh my daughters, my daughters
