This piece finds my Baba recollecting a distant life with her parents and sisters in their Carpathian village and the moment, at 16, when German soldiers kidnapped her, (eventually consigning her to forced labour a thousand kilometres away).

lyrics

When I close my eyes, there’s a vision of gold
Clouds melt from the sky like meat off the bone
All from a dream of when I was young
All from a dream

When I close my eyes I can see them at home
My sisters like brides, glowing and grown
All from a dream of when I was young
All from a dream

When I close my eyes, there are men at the gate
Blue mother’s eyes know I’m going away
When I close my eyes, when I close my eyes

All from a dream of when I was young

When I close my eyes, there’s a vision of gold
Sun through the pines and heat from the stove
All from a dream of when I was young
All from a dream

It’s just a place that I know
For now
