years,
G

Fluttered my hands, closed my ears—
G

As if deaf to every word,
G
Abdim
Am
Refusing every song I heard
G
F
G

That might connect me to this ground,
So silence spoke for me instead,

Above this lost edge of the world

Of a war ship, hoping war came soon—
F
G

But if I stood and drank alone

Then that wish became my own

When a secret shared had
