Refugee - Camel (1984)

Camel의 전반기 시절이 더 좋아다는 분들도 계시지만 이 앨범으로 대중과 좀 더 가까워 지지 않았나 싶다.
특히 Long Goodbyes의 인기는 대단했던 것 같다.

1. Refugee : Camel의 Stationary Traveller (1984) 앨범의 2번째 곡이다.

Paul Burgess: Drums

Andy Latimer: Piano, Bass, Guitar, Vocals

There's a rumor flying through the air;
Paranoia's creeping everywhere.
You're gonna raise a wall -
to draw the line.

You say you've got your reasons
I hear them all the time
You say it's talking treason
and a crime...
to question why.

Don't you know I've seen this all before?
History repeats itself once more.
I don't want to go -
and I can't stay.

You say you've got your reasons
I hear them all the time.
You say it's talking treason
and a crime...
to question why.

I don't want to be a refugee,
I just want a single guarantee.
I don't want to be a refugee,
I just want the right to disagree.



2. Long Goodbyes : Camel의 Stationary Traveller (1984) 앨범의 10번째 곡이다.


Down by the lake
a warm afternoon -
breezes carry children's balloons.
Once upon a time,
not long ago,
she lived in a house by the grove.
And she recalls the day,
when she left home...


Long good-byes,
make me so sad.
I have to leave right now.
And though I hate to go,
I know it's for the better.
Long good-byes,
make me so sad.
Forgive my leaving now.
You know I'll miss you so
and days we spent together.


Long in the day
moon on the rise -
she sighs with a smile in her eyes.
In the park,
it's late afterall,
she sits and stares at the wall.
And she recalls the day,
when she left home...


(repeat chorus)
