Jasmine Lament

(music/lyrics – Helena Hettema)

I left my home to find my heart
Twelve thousand miles away
And found my heart, my song once again
In a city golden that sleeps
A city of ancient dreams

Chorus:
And underneath the Jasmine tree is
A man that longs
And lies the sadness of two hearts
That no longer belong
And he says, he says
Please come home to me
Because here it is Spring
Under the Jasmine tree.

I travelled a road and heard
My soul in the toll, toll of the bell
And found my heart, my song
Once again in a city
Golden that sleeps,
A city of ancient dreams.

Chorus: repeat
