Текст песни Painting Pictures of Egypt (Sara Groves) с переводом

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

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

I’ve been painting pictures of Egypt,

I’ve been leaving out what it lacks

The future feels so hard,

And I wanna go back!

But the places that used to fit me,

Cannot hold the things I’ve learned

Those roads were closed off to me While my back was turned!

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

I’ve been painting pictures of Egypt,

I’ve been leaving out what it lacks

The future feels so hard,

And I wanna go back!

But the places that used to fit me,

Cannot hold the things I’ve learned

Those roads were closed off to me While my back was turned!

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 recognize it Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
