I Crave To Hear You Say

I Crave To Hear You Say 

I crave the orchards and the flower fields,

Oh Beloved, reveal your face to me.

I crave loads upon loads of sweetness,

Oh Beloved, open up your lips for me.

I crave the face of the radiant Sun,

Oh the Sun of Tabriz, melt the clouds,

stop the rain, let me bathe in your beauty.

I crave to hear you say,

stop teasing me with these words.

I crave to hear you say,

the king is not in tonight, go home.

I crave to hear you say,

say anything.

I am white whale,

cannot be contained in this 

stream called life.

I crave the Sea of Oman.

I crave the healing visitation of Joseph,

I am Jacob, weeping endlessly. 

I crave to travel the mountains on bare foot,

fly over the deserts,

can not stay here any longer.

When you left me,

they changed the town's name to prison.
