"Stolen" - No Rain

A Song for the Armenians

Down in the desert I saw a mermaid lie

She said I was stolen but I never even knew why

She said I was taken and left here on my own

And though I'm not frightened I really want to go home

 

Down in the desert I heard a mermaid cry

She said I was broken but I see no boats going by

She said I awoken, my skin was dry to the bone

And though I'm not frightened I really want to go home

 

I am the face of a stranger

I have the eyes of a mother

You have the heart to remember

I am with you forever

 

Down in the desert I heard my people died

They said we were stolen but we never even knew why

They said we awoken, our skin was dry to the bone

And though we're not frightened we really want to go home

 

We are the faces of strangers

We have the eyes of your fathers

You have the heart to remember

We are with you forever

 

The songs that you hear are our voices

We are with you forever
