Beirut (Cyrine II) Lyrics

You ask me

If I really believe that anything could hold her beauty

That isn't otherworldly

She haunts me

Like a shadow in the corner that beckons sweetly

Whispering my elegy

Obsessed beyond belief

I will retreat into the desert

Here I am, just sitting at home alone

When everything I loved is gone

An angel calls

Beirut has never looked so beautiful

These pictures of you will guide me true

Distracting

I'd leave behind a wasted life to see her beauty

That pretty face in front of me

Reflecting

Is it wrong of me to feel the need to tell this story?

To put your name to melody

Here I am, just sitting at home alone

When everything I loved is gone

An angel calls

Beirut has never looked so beautiful

These pictures of you will guide me true

This isn't real

I'll run away, I'll

Give it all, if I can start it all over with you

This isn't real

I'll run away, I'll

Give it all, if I can start it all over with you

I can't feel

Anything at all

Show me the way to make things

Make things new

I still dream of the two of us alone

Somewhere lost in Lebanon

I'd sell my soul

Nothing could be more beautiful

These pictures of you will guide me true
