lyrics

I didn’t let you go yesterday
Lost my love in the crimson rain
You were my guard now you won’t let me back
Who looks out the window when the mirror’s cracked?
But come now my bride, will you take my hand? We walk the divide between us and our homeland Apart we are carried, your heart’s my home Marriage bed buried in the rubble of Aleppo
Stone falling down again. The bright city lights
Have burned through their kerosene, the days are black as the nights And deep in my mind you’re a rose in the dust
But the colors fade and the petals they turn to rust
But come now my bride, will you take my hand? We walk the divide between us and our homeland Apart we are carried, your heart’s my home Marriage bed buried in the rubble of Aleppo
And I won’t let you go if we meet in the morning
No I won’t let you go, a slow, slow earth is turning, turning away
But come now my bride, will you take my hand? We walk the divide between us and our homeland Apart we are carried, your heart’s my home Marriage bed buried in the rubble of Aleppo
