Dreams Of Leaving Lyrics - Human League

Someone stopped the clock when we should have started early 

If we miss the morning meeting our lives will be in danger 

Someone's trying to stop us, there is someone in our party 

It is someone with a grudge and they won't let us reach the border 

Our lives are in his hands, we pay with Krugerrands 

The currency of pain to help us leaving 

While back in our homeland the ones who make a stand 

Are taken from their homes and no one hears of them again 

I felt I had to come here, I thought things would be better 

The situation's changed but I find I'm still resented 

Someone wants my job it is someone in this building 

Someone's spreading rumors and I don't feel I can stay here 

I think I'm going north and now's the time to leave 

The people there they say are good to strangers 

And if I do my best and try to settle in 

I'm sure I can be just like someone's neighbor
