Palestinian Winter

from My Beloved by Children

/

lyrics

I've missed the way you loved me,
& how my lips they used to sing,
Sing out their happy thoughts away.
Oh it’s been seven years since,
I loved a soul like yours so deep,
Too deep for me to swim & so I just sink.

But they say, don’t go
But they say, don’t go
Don’t you go away.

& all these Palestinian winters, they don’t get any colder,
Colder as they go, colder as they go.
& by these Palestinian rivers, oh, my body doesn't show the bruises,
As I grow.
As I grow old.

But they say, don’t go.
But they say, don’t go.
Don’t you go away.

This is all I ever see,
How the sun climbs into you,
Your eyes like curtains; safe but see-through.
Through those satin curtain eyes,
I settle down like specks of dust,
You brush me off & then I come alive.

But they say, don’t go.
& they begged, don’t go.
Don’t you go away.

& all these Palestinian winters, they don’t get any colder,
Colder as they go, colder as they go.
& by these Palestinian rivers, oh, my body doesn't show the bruises,
As I grow.
As I grow old.

& they begged, don’t go
& they begged, don’t go
& they begged, don’t go
Down the river, don't go.
