Omar Offendum - Majnoon Layla lyrics

Verse 1: Back in school was when we'd first got acquainted Crossed paths - nearly fainted When you told me that your name was Layla Hair darker than the night's sky Waylak! Majnoon what a crazy tale I too often poeticized your eyes To every pa**er by Till it came back to haunt me As your dad denied Your hand in mine ñ marriage I was sad to find Wasn't written for us in the grand design Set out for Mecca on Hajj As I was really on Edge But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't sever our ties I pledged to your heart That we would never be apart As children But your father had other plans To find you another man Until then You were on house arrest Sealed in And I couldn't bare the pain Crying a tear's refrain Insane Praying that Id be k**ed then I skipped town shameful Wondering what our world came to Chorus: The remorse of Old ways Divorced of Old times The source of Old prose and… (It Blows My Miiiiiind) Just how strong the memories remain In a reverie of pain Insane - Im not fine... Im yours, however distant you may be! Intertwined - forever reminded you're my lady (It Blows My Miiiiiind) There blows no wind but wafts your scent And sings no bird but calls your name Star-crossed Lament Verse 2: Wandering through the wilderness Agony filled & lonely Pondering how I failed Knowing nobody could console me Only the homey Nawfal Had cared enough to explore Yet when he couldn't succeed He just took your daddy to war And demanded we be united But as your clan was defeated The same excuse as before is what Your father slowly repeated I'd ruined your reputation With all of my proclamations He'd rather k** you than see us together A complication to say the least I conceded To the desert retreated Wrote a rhyme in the sand for you Praying that you could read it Time pa**ed & eventually you would come to be greeted By many a suitor Intent on sweeping you off your feet - When it happened Couldn't believe it You were somebody's wife? Was it really my fate to live such a pitiful life? The aches cut like a knife as my miserable heart burned To all that trouble & strife ñ I vowed to never return A lesson learned Chorus: The remorse of Old ways Divorced of Old times The source of Old prose and… (It Blows My Miiiiiind) Just how strong the memories remain In a reverie of pain Insane - Im not fine... Im yours, however distant you may be! Intertwined - forever reminded you're my lady (It Blows My Miiiiiind) There blows no wind but wafts your scent And sings no bird but calls your name Star-crossed Lament Verse 3: Brainsick they would call me Demented smitten & mad And this took a toll on Baba's health Whoa it was getting bad See I was his only son And so I was all that he had He died of a broken heart I knew that it made you sad You sent me a note condoling me Said you were thinking of me Then when my mother pa**ed You had even said you still loved me Given that bitter absences made our hearts fonder I had to come back to see ñ I couldn't take it much longer However the irony was your husband would die too Therefore our traditions stated I would be without you For not one - but two Years to be left grieving Naive - in a spider love (& in spite of) Was this tangled web we were weaving My Karma just getting even For living life depraved? Why was it such a sin to have given all that I gave? For now I lie at your grave And I'm ready to die a whaler Thus ends the tale of Majnoon Layla Chorus: The remorse of Old ways Divorced of Old times The source of Old prose and… (It Blows My Miiiiiind) Just how strong the memories remain In a reverie of pain Insane - Im not fine... Im yours, however distant you may be! Intertwined - forever reminded you're my lady (It Blows My Miiiiiind) There blows no wind but wafts your scent And sings no bird but calls your name Star-crossed Lament
