Vineland new jersey |
| [00:27.08] |
Farm land stretching |
| [00:30.34] |
Far as the eye can see |
| [00:36.09] |
Not much down there but |
| [00:38.56] |
Sun-scorched pastures in |
| [00:42.13] |
1953 |
| [00:47.41] |
The war was over |
| [00:50.11] |
And they came searching |
| [00:53.84] |
For a place to be |
| [00:59.11] |
They left the Rhineland |
| [01:00.63] |
They lost their homeland |
| [01:03.42] |
And all their family |
| [01:11.61] |
Like feathers on the ocean breeze |
| [01:15.20] |
They went spinning and |
| [01:16.74] |
Tumbling across the sea |
| [01:23.14] |
Never know where they come down |
| [01:26.73] |
Or who they'd be |
| [01:34.54] |
Like heather on the hillside |
| [01:38.46] |
They were bruised |
| [01:39.64] |
And they were battered by the breeze |
| [01:46.72] |
Searching for a place |
| [01:50.35] |
To be free |
| [02:14.18] |
Sunburnt summers |
| [02:16.81] |
Frostbite winters |
| [02:20.32] |
The kids were plainly dressed |
| [02:25.74] |
He left the farmhouse when |
| [02:28.57] |
He was old enough |
| [02:30.48] |
And headed out west |
| [02:37.42] |
From California |
| [02:39.91] |
To southern Africa |
| [02:43.47] |
And all the way to France |
| [02:45.14] |
And onto England to |
| [02:51.72] |
Meet my mother in |
| [02:55.22] |
1981 |
| [03:01.46] |
A feather on the ocean breeze |
| [03:04.96] |
He went spinning and |
| [03:06.62] |
Tumbling across the sea |
| [03:12.88] |
Never knowing where |
| [03:13.87] |
He'd come down |
| [03:16.50] |
Or who he'd be |
| [03:24.27] |
Like heather on the hillside |
| [03:28.14] |
He was bruised |
| [03:29.36] |
And he was battered by the breeze |
| [03:36.25] |
Searching for a place |
| [03:39.72] |
To be free |
| [03:45.21] |
Oh and like a seed |
| [03:48.94] |
That is flying in the wind |
| [03:51.46] |
In search of water soil and sun |
| [03:59.79] |
And the birds and the bees |
| [04:02.88] |
To help it all along |
| [04:11.76] |
Now here I am |
| [04:14.16] |
33 years down |
| [04:17.91] |
2018 |
| [04:23.95] |
I've seen the Rhineland |
| [04:25.32] |
I've been to Vineland |
| [04:28.42] |
I'm a feather on the breeze |
