Ketil Bjørnstad Dreaming of the North song lyrics

a journey no man should make

hiding by day, walking by night

weeks and months a blur of hunger

thirst, sickness, violence and fear

europe closes one door

the smugglers open another

putting food in their bellies will not stop them

putting food in their bellies will not stop them

her name was gloria

she was sixteen years old and pregnant

by her murdered husband

she had contractions but the baby came feet-first

gloria took

three hours to die

she was buried with her baby inside her

under leaves - because the ground was too hard

dreaming of the north

dreaming of the north

keep dreaming, yes, keep dreaming of

keep dreaming, yes, keep dreaming of the north
