E is for Eshtaol, I Left My Heart In Eshtaol

Eshtaol, I Left My Heart In Eshtaol*

(Judges 16:31)

The beauty of Zorah seems to have faded

The glory of Dan has now become jaded

I’ve been all alone by myself in Beit Shemesh

I’m going to go home to my city unaided

I left my heart in Eshtaol

High on the Judean hills, it begs me

To be where little donkeys bray to the moon

The air may be damp but I will go home soon

My love is buried there in Eshtaol

After I cut off all of his hair

I am coming to you my dear Eshtaol

Even though his grave is there

I left my heart in Eshtaol

Along with some scissors I stashed there

To be where the stars dance upon the desert bare

I left my heart in Eshtaol
