brett ryback - something so pure كلمات الأغنية

[intro: howl]
her name was gerda
we met in cairo
she was the friend of a girl i didn’t know

(spoken)
here we are on a beach in alexandria
(sung)
we took a weekend
she had insisted
and as i quickly found out
when gerda invites you
you go

[verse 1: howl]
there was something so pure, how she saw the world
through the eye of her camera lens
she’d find beauty and hope in the heart of despair
we left seeking war and camе back
being more than just friends

[verse 2: howl]
thеre was something so pure, how she looked at me
like her goodness might be my reprive
i’d never had faith in forgiveness or grace
but i’d look in her eyes
and however unwise i’d believe
[chorus: howl]
and we saw kabul and cape town and gaza
we saw deserts that danced with the sea
i felt eager and wanted
rapt and unguarded, and free

[interlude: gerda]
peter go in the water’s warm
(spoken)
no, no, don’t get the camera wet
(sung)
give it to me
don’t move peter
hold still, i see you
don’t move

[verse 3: howl]
there is nothing so pure in the heart of man
as the hunger for power and gold
a decade surrounded by chaos and war
made the peace that we stole
begin to feel soulless and cold

[verse 4: howl]
inside me an anger was born again
for injustices i couldn’t cure
i tried to hold fast to the love that we shared
but the darkness would come
and leave no room for something so pure
[chorus: howl]
and we saw juntas, contras, guerrillas
we saw bloodshed, scourge and debris
i felt anxious and haunted
trapped and i started to flee

[interlude: gerda]
(spoken)
peter sit down let’s talk this out
no, no we are not finished yet
listen to me
(sung)
don’t go, peter
stay here, i love you
don’t go

[bridge: howl, gerda, both]
where in the world
(where will you go)
where could i go
(where in the world)
how far could i run to leave this behind me?
(will you ever come find me?)
or must i live with this pain for whatever remains of my days?

[outro: howl]
(spoken)
she died in israel
(sung)
there was a bombing
i got a letter informing me so
(spoken)
she had bequethed me this house, this land
(sung)
i didn’t want it
i couldn’t fathom
but then i knew in my gut
when gerda invites you
you go
