They poured across the borders

We were cautioned to surrender

This I could not do

Into the hills I vanished



No one ever asks me

Who I am or where I'm going

But those of you who know

You cover up my footprints



I have changed my name so often

I have lost my wife and children

But I have many friends

And some of them are with me



An old woman gave us shelter

Kept us hidden in a garrett

And then the soldiers came

She died without a whisper



There were three of us this morning

And I'm the only one this ev'ning

Still I must go on

Frontiers are my prison



Oh the winds, the winds are blowing

Thru the graves the winds are blowing

Freedom soon will come!

Then we'll come from the shadow.
