Annotationen
Der Song war eine Adaptation des gleichnamigen Romans von Dirk van der Heide.
Der Song handelt von niederländischen Geschwistern, die im Krieg mit einem Boot flüchten und in einem anderen Land (den USA) eine neues Leben beginnen. Sie sind traurig darüber, was sie verloren haben, ...
Jeder Verse beginnt mit der Titelzeile und endet mit «But we don't talk about that», der zum Ausdruck bringt, dass beide um die Tragik in ihrem Leben wissen, aber darüber schweigen und nach vorne schauen.
In der Bridge wird das Trauma angedeutet, unter dem sie leiden. Sie wachen, vermutlich von Alptraumbildern geplagt, in der Nacht auf und weinen.

Lyrics
[Intro] The warm and lovely world we knew Has been struck by a bitter frost But my sister and I recall with a sigh The world we knew and loved and lost [A1] My sister and I remember still A tulip garden by an old Dutch mill And the home that was all our own until ... But we don't talk about that [A2] My sister and I recall once more The fishing schooners pulling into shore And the dog-cart we drove in days before ... But we don't talk about that [B] We're learning to forget the fear That came from a troubled sky We're almost happy over here But sometimes we wake at night and cry [A3] My sister and I recall the day We said goodbye, then we sailed away And we think of our friends that had to stay But we don't talk about that [Reprise B] We're learning to forget the fear That came from a troubled sky We're almost happy over here But sometimes we wake at night and cry [Reprise A3] My sister and I recall the day We said goodbye, then we sailed away And we think of our friends that had to stay But we don't talk about that
