Lyrics

[Intro - Sufi Vocalization]
Ya layli... ya layla...
[Verse 1]
Standing by the window pane
Watching branches in the rain
Time keeps moving all the same
While you're so far away
[Pre-chorus]
(La la lei, ya layli...)
The trees still bear their fruit
(La la lei, ya layli...)
Though no one's there to tend their roots
[Chorus]
Every spring they bloom again
On the hills where we once played
Nature knows no borders when
It spreads its green parade
(Ya layli... ya layla...)
[Verse 2]
Empty bowls on empty shelves
Children crying to themselves
Morning comes and evening falls
Behind these concrete walls
[Pre-chorus]
(La la lei, ya layli...)
The trees still bear their fruit
(La la lei, ya layli...)
Though no one's there to tend their roots
[Bridge]
I see your mother's eyes
In photographs and stone
The land still holds your cries
The soil, flesh and bone
[Sufi Vocalization]
Ahhhh.... ya layli...
(Lei lei lei lei...)
[Final Chorus]
Every spring they bloom again
Though we cannot stay
Nature knows no borders when
It calls us far away
(Ya layli... ya layla...)
