Nouri
I lose my ground when I think about you passing
Umi
how have you have found my lungs without me asking
we’re in the hometown that you abandoned,
Halfa ya Hilwa you only imagined,
a life where a love was more than this sand and
your mother keeps asking where you have gone
where you have gone to stay,
why you have gone away
Nouri
are you wearing thin
any room you’re in is where God is remembered
any door you open the angels will enter
and if I ever bleed,
you pray through the night
so that God intercedes
but I wanna know,
who you were in your mothers home?
I wanna know,
what did you ever do alone?
what colours did you love?
before the black, before the thobes?
Nouri
I lose my ground when I think about you passing
Umi
how have you have found my lungs without me asking
did you leave her back there?
did you leave her back there?
did you leave your dreams there?
did you leave your dreams there?
did you leave her back there?
did you leave her back there?
did you leave your dreams there?
did you leave your dreams there?
