From across the seas
He came to work
Sent the money back
For his wife and child
It wasn't long
Before they came

With all your kind

Four years gone and he would never be the same
Took each sunrise with a shot of shame

They closed the camps down and forgot his name

Four years gone and
his boy had taken the reins
They closed the camps down
But left him with the stain
Loveday Number 9
