Sleep In Monastir Lyrics

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
