[Verse 1]
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
Oh the river oh the river it's running free,
Oh the joy oh the joy it brings to me,
But I know it'll have to drown me,
Before I can breathe easy,
And I've seen it in the flights of birds,
I've seen it in you,
And the entrails of the wanyama in the blood running through,
But in order to get to the heart,
It takes some time wewe have to cut through.
(We can, I know wewe can...)
[Chorus]
Just keep following the heartlines on your head,
Just keep following the heatlines on your head,
Keep in up I know wewe can,
Just keep following the heartlines on your head,
Cause I am.
[Verse 2]
On the sea, on the sea and land over land,
Creeping and crawling like the sea over sand,
Still I follow heartlines on your head,
And this ndoto this fallacy,
This tumbling stone,
Echoes of a city that's long overgrown,
Your moyo is the only place that I call home,
Can I be returned?
(You can...we can...I know wewe can...)
[Chorus Repeat]
(What a thing to do...Oh...What a thing to choose...)
But know in some way I’m there with you,
Up against the ukuta on a Wednesday afternoon.
[Chorus Repeat]
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
Oh the river oh the river it's running free,
Oh the joy oh the joy it brings to me,
But I know it'll have to drown me,
Before I can breathe easy,
And I've seen it in the flights of birds,
I've seen it in you,
And the entrails of the wanyama in the blood running through,
But in order to get to the heart,
It takes some time wewe have to cut through.
(We can, I know wewe can...)
[Chorus]
Just keep following the heartlines on your head,
Just keep following the heatlines on your head,
Keep in up I know wewe can,
Just keep following the heartlines on your head,

[Verse 1]
All a lone it was always there wewe see,
And even on my own it was always standing inayofuata to me,
I can see if coming from the edge of the room,
Creeping in the mitaani, mtaa light,
Holding my hand in the pail gloom,
Can wewe see it coming now?
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down again,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down.
[Verse 2]
All a lone even when I was child,
I've always known there was something to be frightened of,
And I can see it coming from the edge of the room,
Creeping in the mitaani, mtaa light,
Holding my hand in the pail gloom,
Can wewe see it coming now?
[Chorus Repeat]
[Verse 3]
All a lone on the edge of sleep,
My old familiar friend comes a lies down inayofuata to me,
And I can see if coming from the edge of the room,
Smiling in the mitaani, mtaa light,
Even with my eyes shut tight,
I still it coming now.
[Chorus Repeat] (X2)

Are wewe hurting the one wewe love?
wewe say you've found Heaven but wewe can't find God.
Are wewe hurting the one wewe love?
Bite your tongue till it tastes like blood.
Are wewe hurting the one wewe love?
So many glasses on the tabletop.
Are wewe hurting the one wewe love?
You'd like to stay in heaven but the rules are too tough.
Tough,
It's just too tough.
Tough,
It's just too tough.
Are wewe hurting the one wewe love?
When they watched the walls, and the ticking clock.
Are wewe hurting the one wewe love?
And was it something wewe could not stop.
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Are wewe hurting the one wewe love?
When wewe leave them sleeping on the hollow ground.
Are wewe hurting the one wewe love?
And Lost for themselves.
Are wewe hurting the one wewe love?
And if heaven knows then who will stop.
Are wewe hurting the one wewe love?
wewe alisema wewe got to heaven, but it wasn't enough.
wewe say you've found Heaven but wewe can't find God.
Are wewe hurting the one wewe love?
Bite your tongue till it tastes like blood.
Are wewe hurting the one wewe love?
So many glasses on the tabletop.

You'd like to stay in heaven but the rules are too tough.

And if heaven knows then who will stop.
Are wewe hurting the one wewe love?
wewe alisema wewe got to heaven, but it wasn't enough.
[Verse 1]
I've been loosing sleep,
I've been keeping myself awake,
I've been wondering the streets: for days and days and days,
Going from road to road,
kitanda to bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
And I believe I believe.
[Chorus]
There's no salvation for me now,
No space amongst the clouds,
And I feel I'm heading down,
That's all right,
That's all right,
That's all right,
That's all ri-i-i-i-i-i-ght.
[Verse 2]
And I've been taking chances,
I've been setting myself up for the fall,
And I've been keeping secrets from my moyo and from my soul,
Going from road to road,
kitanda do bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
But I believe I believe.
[Chorus Repeat]
[Verse 3]
Road to road,

Lover to lover and black to red,

Oh-oh-oh-oh.
