I saw the news today
I saw the News today
And I'm really afraid
Because you are there
On this black list
Of al-Qaeda terrorists
I'm not yet, probably
It's because my country
Is not yet rich enough
To be worth of the terrorists' holy bombs
But, my love, this way
I want more that you could stay
At my land for good
I need to protect you
I'd like to hide you somewhere
Maybe at this little town
When we met in the mountains
How I'd like to see you there
Safe and only for me, dear
But if you need to fly
Maybe only to get by,
So all right, I understand
You are the man, but
I spread the coat of love
To protect you forever my boy
I hope you will be fine
Because you are mine.
