Locked Away

And your cycles flow
Tear paper squares that hold me in their thrall
Even now I walk the edge
Like a property that I can't leave

Oh Ramadan, Oh levantine
Oh language locked away and meaning I can't reach
Oh Ramadan, Oh levantine
I was breaking down the door to save you from me

And could I learn to read the moon, soft blue
Pools of shade imprint upon my mind

Oh Ramadan, Oh levantine
Oh language locked away and meaning I can't reach
Oh Ramadan, Oh levantine
I was breaking down the door to save you from me

I see moon shadows spilling in
Flowing where they will
There were times you slipped away
Only now I'm noticing
While I was nesting in a bed of whispers echoing

Oh Ramadan, Oh levantine
Oh language locked away and meaning I can't reach
Oh Ramadan, Oh levantine
I was breaking down the door to save you from me
