I'M To Leave Now

By: Ali Taha Alnobani I'm to leave now A tall ghost is carrying my bag A long street is walking behind me A mad merchant bought my smiles And no water to renew the dusk I can't have my step begun Even if the rain washed my tears *** I'm to leave now Can I have a deep look at your eyes? Can I take my dreams, your smile And my dried red rose? Can I keep your image in my mind? *** I'm to leave now The hungry clouds and the angry trees Scanned my face with a magic brush To find the sleepy nice angel But the narrow path through the forest Had had fun alone *** When I walk away I'll pray to god for you to be happy I'll collect wild flowers And hold them around your picture I will watch the river May be a bit of his sails Bring me your compassionate voice *** It is not necessary to be together If gardens want to paint your picture alone If clouds like to rain for you alone But forgive me Beads of rain could be mixed with my tears *** It is not necessary to be together If the day needs something And the night needs an other If a baby comes to have life And does not find a mother *** Do you remember When I told you the story of crazy traveler Who made a sail of his sweetheart dress And a prayer of her words And sang in all languages of the world Then gods blessed him That was the prophecy I've seen in your eyes *** It is not necessary to be together I can see you wherever I go I can hear your voice in the storm And in the calm evening ***
