From the recording Sweet Awakening
Lyrics
(Music and Lyrics by Nehal Abuelata)
I was looking for my way back home
When you found me on the side of the road
I was looking for a chance to say
Well, all I want to hear is “please stay”
Can you tell me, oh can you tell me
How to make things right?
Can you tell me, oh can you tell
What’s to expect on the other side?
What’s to expect on the other side?
I kept on walking though you said, “Please wait.”
Hoping you’d find my hand and say,
You are guilty of
Of running away
You are guilty of
Of running away
You are guilty of
Of running away
Guilty of
Of running away
Calmly you wrapped your arms, around me
And, and lovingly, you held my face, in your hands
Ooo to say,
You are guilty of
of running away
of running away
Guilty of
Of running, of running
Guilty of
Of running away
Guilty of
Of running away
When I finally made it home
And prepared to apologize
You quietly sat by me to say, oh
“You can run as long as it’s by my side”
Can you tell me, oh, can you tell me
How to make things right?
Can you tell me, oh, can you tell me
What’s to expect on the other side?
What’s to expect on the other side?
Guilty of…
Oh
Guilty of
Of running away, of running away
Guilty of,
Of running away
Can you tell me, oh, can you tell me
How to make things right?
Can you tell me, oh, can you tell me
what’s to expect on the other side
what’s to expect on the other side
Can you tell me, oh, can you tell me
How to make things right?
Can you tell me, oh, can you tell me
What’s to expect on the other side
What’s to expect on the other side
What’s to expect on, the other side
