I was lost

Yousef Abbara 1985 (Homs)

Tyburn
The silence came to me
I could not hear I could not see
Lemon was above my head playing like a monkey on the tree
I want to run away but I had to pay money as a fee
I saw him but he lost himself like car without a key
I want to walk in beautiful wood accedintly I broke my knee
We move alone then we become two then three
I can't be away from prison of life it is so difficult to be free
