Aleppo

Leave the silverware You won't need it there Take this brooch I made for you Promise, you won't despair Leave all that you were You won't need him there May they take good care of you Listen to what you bear Ignore the birds on puppet strings Tune out the bombs that startled them Pray that the sirens soon will end Darling, don't look back Soot of burned-down towns Blood on lawless crowns Rise from the rubble of broken dreams Before they take them down Ignore the birds on puppet strings Tune out the bombs that startled them Pray that the sirens soon will end Darling, don't look back Darling, don't look back Darling, don't look.
