Sami Yusuf - To Guide You Home [NEW, November 2012]
THIRSTY AS A DESERT’S PAIN I MISS YOUR TOUCH LIKE POURING RAIN WHEN CLOUDS COME IN THEY CRY ALL NIGHT AND GIVE ME TEARS TO FILL MY EYES THE FOOTPRINTS THAT YOU LEFT HAVE STAYED ABOVE THE SAND BENEATH THE WAVES LONG AFTER TIME HAS LET THEM GO I’LL WAIT FOR TIDES TO GUIDE YOU HOME
DIZZY AS THE TEA I BREW MY MIND STIRS ROUND WITH THOUGHTS OF YOU AND LIKE THE MELTING SUGAR CUBES YOU DISAPPEARED AND LEFT ME TO YOUR FACE AND FORM IS ALL I SEE IN SILHOUETTES OF SCOLDING STEAM AT NIGHT THE KITCHEN CANDLES GLOW AND SHINE A LIGHT TO GUIDE YOU HOME
(AZERI) KÜÇƏLƏRƏ SU SƏPMIŞƏM I HAVE THROWN WATER INTO THE STREET
YAR GƏLƏNDƏ TOZ OLMASIN MY BELOVED IS COMING, SO THERE MUST NOT BE DUST
ELƏ GƏLSIN, ELƏ GETSIN LET HER COME, LET HER GO
ARAMIZDA SÖZ OLMASIN BUT LET THERE NOT BE WORDS BETWEEN US
FAR AWAY AND ALL ALONE I TRUST IN STARS TO GUIDE YOU HOME
English words by Will Knox Original music & words: Azeri Traditional Folklore Produced by Sami Yusuf
