Текст песни
They say the skies of Lebanon are burning
Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
They're showing pictures on the television
Women and children dying in the street
And we're still at it in our own place
Still trying to reach the future through the past
Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone
But hey, don't listen to me
This wasn't meant to be no sad song
We've had too much of that before
Right now I only wanna be here with you
When the morning dew comes falling
I wanna take you to the island
And trace your footsteps in the sand
And in the evening when the sun's going down
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
They're raising banners over by the markets
White-washing slogans on the shipyard walls
Witch doctors praying for a mighty showdown
No way our holy flag is gonna fall
Up here we sacrifice our children
To feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday
To teach them dying leaders into glory
But hey, don't listen to me
This wasn't meant to be no sad song
We've had too much of that before
Right now I only wanna be here with you
When the morning dew comes falling
I wanna take you to the island
And trace your footsteps in the sand
And in the evening when the sun's going down
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
