Khazri

Intro

Aa-maan ey-la-ma

Aa-maan ey-la-maa

(ah ey)

Verse

The khazri pulls the laundry off the line

And spins it over rooftops, yours and mine

It bangs the carpets drying on the rails

And swings the shop signs hanging from their nails

It lifts the steam off tea before I drink

And rattles saffron jars along the sink

Hook

It sweeps the alleys through and through

(it never asks)

It takes it all but you

(aman)

Instrumental

Verse

It shook the Ferris wheel above the bay

You gripped the bar and begged it not to sway

It took your yellow cap right off your head

And dropped it in the Caspian instead

It cleared the bench where we would sit and wait

And shoved the gulls around the harbour gate

Hook

It took the summer and the view

(gone by noon)

It takes it all but you

(ey yar)

Verse

I peg your sweater loosely to the hedge

I leave your letters out along the ledge

The khazri howls all night and doesn't care

By morning both are lying folded there

I asked it nicely, then I asked it loud

It knocked the hats off half the Friday crowd

Hook

The wind was never holding on

(ey yar)

It's me, and you're long gone

(aman) (aman)
