I Am In A Foreign Land

[mohammed]

I AM IN A FOREIGN LAND

I am in a foreign land, the moon must have come out in my land
On our roof at night (in my land), how lonely the moon must feel
I am in a foreign land, the moon must have come out in my land

In those eyes in which the black night swam as black eyeliner
In those eyes, the moon must have been a tear drop
I am in a foreign land, the moon must have come out in my land

The night tugged so hard, the string broke from my hands
In that tree in the yard (in my land), the moon must have gotten stuckImagery: moon as kite
I am in a strange land, the moon must have come out in my land

Without the moon, everyday passes by as centuries pass
Without me, how do you think the moon is?
I am in a foreign land, the moon must have come out in my land
On our roof at night, how lonely the moon must feel
I am in a foreign land, the moon must have come out in my land.
