The lights of Damascus They shimmer and glow Out of the wide darkness That stretches below The chill wind blows firmly The cold stars shine clear The home is so distant The enemy, near. This night lasts forever This war never ends I wish it were peacetime At home among friends I wish it were peacetime To build and to grow No more standing guard here Amidst dark and snow. Somewhere lights are flashing Somewhere cannon boom Alone I am standing Alone in the gloom The lights of Damascus To me wink and glow Out of the wide darkness That stretches below. |
