about

It started as a dream about a lovely friend, laughing, mouth open to the sky, stars falling in her eyes…
It ended up as a Syrian refugee’s memory of a child killed during Aleppo’s bombardment.
The 7\8 time and chanting give this piece a definite Middle-Eastern feel.

lyrics

Caught

Ah----
Nightmare in a gale of blood and shattered concrete
hills
Ah----
Smell of corpse and cordite in my throat are photo
stills
All might be true
Bones will not stay – gone

Ah----
Fear and flesh like flotsam from the shipwreck of the day
Ah----
Cover faces of the dead and crows will fly away
Body of child
Grief numb and wild –Aah!

I am a scream in the storm
Tossed in the spiral of fate
Outside with you
Bones in my arms - gone

Ah----
I-- saw you in my dreamtime laughing at the sky
Ah----
All the stars, oh, all the stars were falling in your eyes
Flames caught your hair
My name broke the air

Exiles in truth-crusted shoes
We are the refugee soul
Outside with you
Memory in arms – gone.
