The Partisan

They poured across the borders
We were cautioned to surrender
This I could not do
Into the hills I vanishedNo one ever asks me
Who I am or where I'm going?
But those of you who know
You cover up my footprintsI have changed my name so often
I have lost my wife and children
But I have many friends
And some of them are with meAn old woman gave us shelter
Kept us hidden in a garret
And then the soldiers came
She died without a whisperThere were three of us this morning
And I'm the only one this evening
Still I must go on
Frontiers are my prisonOh the winds, the winds are blowing
Through the graves the winds are blowing
Freedom soon will come
Then we'll come from the shadow
