Lyrics to The Scar Upon Your Face
The Scar Upon Your Face Video:
When I woke up this morning I felt something in my skin I saw your hair upon the pillow And the cleft upon your chin Your eyes opened and they found me Like a synonym for grace And your wild beauty was revealed In the scar upon your face When I woke up this morning And I heard you say that word to me You looked upon your Jewish lover And you called him "habibi" I know there is a future I think you're proof that that's the case I saw it on your lips And on the scar upon your face When I woke up this morning I saw the ring upon your hand Your only piece of evidence From a long-forsaken land It takes me to a village In another time and place Like the depth within your eyes And the scar upon your face When I woke up this morning Lost somehow in the deep I recalled the sound Of you crying in your sleep Crying for your mama And this savage human race I could only kiss your cheek And the scar upon your face
