Words & Music by Ala Ghawas

I remember my mewl

In our home’s balcony

On my first day in school

When you ran to me

There, when I first felt loved

And I remember your white hand

In the dark so sunny

It took me to my dreamland

Where Tom Sawyer is waiting for me

Again, your love forced my pain to fall to sleep

I remember the muse

You’ve lost within me

And the songs of Fairoz

You chanted constantly

There, when I first wanted to sing

And I remember my silly blues

When a girl gets hold of me

So emotionally abused

In my red room, solitary

Again, your love falls like rain and runs so deep

Was I worth the seeds of love you’ve thrown in me?
