Somewhere far away
sunlight wakes the night sleepers
blinking out streetlights
blinking out streetlights,
the night sleeps, morning covers,
drowsy crescent moon
drowsy crescent moon
drowns in the dark womb of night
paving way for Eid.
paving way for Eid,
Id exchanged for lack of will,
dream-bedraggled nest
dream-bedgraggled nest
high up in the tree of life
grog running through veins
Grog running through veins
just one serving more my dear
the night is bitter
the night is bitter
rain, snow and slush choke my soul
I need warmth, my dear!
I need warmth, my dear!
let us light up a fire
while we watch the stars
while we watch the stars
let the moon bird kiss your lips
and rend heart of fire!
And rend heart of fire
in houses made for snow dunes
beware the North wind
Beware the North wind
sweeping over Southern plains -
memories of ice.
memories of ice
send a chill up the spine;
the statue trembles....
the statue trembles
with a stirring breath of life
marble turned to flesh
