To Liverpool By: Ali Taha Alnobani On Vernon street Off Dale street I sat near the sidewalk At the edge Like a broken bridge People were passing With their robot walking Sea gulls felt my pain Also did the rain And my one day friend Mark Who heard the voice of gulls in my heart And my desire to start His friendly eyes Were shining Like a rainy day sunrise I loved the city The buildings, the streets The people when they say: Are you okay And the great mysterious river Which says: I'll stay forever *** "I'm from London,I recognized you…?" Said Mark Me too The old woman in the park Saw wonder in my eyes And my crutches' tries To stand But I was shy to tell her That pretty belles have stolen my heart *** "London is more beautiful than Liverpool" Said Mark If our world was broken Who would take our love? If the birds flew away Who would fly like a dove? Please tell me Mark If I understood life at the end If I became a sea gull And found my trend But peace seems far away Despite our great love *** On Vernon street Off Dale street I remembered the man who thinks That he owns the truth He had a knife instead of tooth He tried to teach me to hate But he was too late My heart was upon the planet And dwelt in the world of love *** My one day friend Mark Went away Waving by hand The dusk was drinking the day A bird passed through the clouds Like a ray How many streets around the world Have a sad man like me Sits on the sidewalk At the edge Like a broken bridge Thinks of truth and peace And longing to have love in Liverpool *** edited by alitnobani on 11/28/2010 edited by alitnobani on 12/1/2010 edited by alitnobani on 12/2/2010
