Sleep In Monastir

All the trees And all the colour fields Could be making me feel good If I would just leave them alone And let the beautiful be big and blue And Hollywood could save the world And we could be the stars We could be the stars Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever Poetry has made a fool of me before It tries to make me speak to you With words that I can't understand But underneath the poetry Is where I want to be with you I want to be with you I want to be with you Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever Oh my love So far away All your dreams Are here to stay Oh to sleep in Monastir And just be beautiful Lets sleep in Monastir I was not a boy When the first eyes looked on Palestine And you were not on my mind When the first big bombs destroyed our kind And now there is a forest Crying out for tenderness Now there is a hole in the sky Big enough to close my eyes There are hearts that beat for commerce Hearts that beat for governments And politics will eat itself Like it mistakes our world for something else I, I want to be with you Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever Beauty smashed forever, ever and ever
