Honey Light Home

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Ya babour

Verse 1

Leaving the port at dawn

Salt on my tongue from the sea

Mama's voice still in my head

She said the world won't wait for me

Pre-Chorus

I carry the oud in my chest

Every string a memory

Old land calling from the west

Pull me back so soft and sweet

Chorus

Bladi bladi you know I'm coming home

Through the haze and the honey light

Bladi bladi the roads are made of gold

Where the desert shakes the night

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Ya bladi

Oh-oh-oh

I'm coming home

Verse 2

Cousins on the rooftop

Hookah smoke and mint tea steam

Stories that my father wrote

In a language like a dream

Pre-Chorus

I carry the drums in my hands

Beat like rain on the old clay

Crossing all these empty lands

To hear you call my name today

Chorus

Bladi bladi you know I'm coming home

Through the haze and the honey light

Bladi bladi the roads are made of gold

Where the desert shakes the night

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Ya bladi

Oh-oh-oh

I'm coming home

Bridge

Trace my hand across the map

Every line your ancient name

Half of me is where I'm at

Half of me is where you claim

Chorus

Bladi bladi you know I'm coming home

Through the haze and the honey light

Bladi bladi the roads are made of gold

Where the desert shakes the night

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Ya bladi

Oh-oh-oh
