Painting Pictures Of Egypt — текст песни (Sara Groves)

Verse 1: I don`t want to leave here
I don`t want to stay
It feels like pinching to me
Either way
And the places I long for the most
Are the places where I`ve been
They are calling out to me
Like a long lost friend

Verse 2: It`s not about losing faith
It`s not about trust
It`s all about comfortable
When you move so much
And the place I was wasn`t perfect
But I had found a way to live
And it wasn`t milk or honey
But then neither is this

Chorus: I`ve been painting pictures of Egypt
Leaving out what it lacks
And the future feels so hard
And I want to go back
But the places they used to fit me
Cannot hold the things I`ve learned
Those roads were closed off to me
While my back was turned

Verse 3: The past is so tangible
I know it by heart
Familiar things are never easy
To discard
I was dying for some freedom
But now I hesitate to go
I am caught between the Promise
And the things I know

Chorus

Bridge: If it comes to quick
I may not appreciate it
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
And if it comes to quick
I may not recognise it
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
