When I see you, I see my own face
I want to save wewe from yourself
What could I do?
What could I say?
It's a downward spiral
I don't know what causes sorrow
au why it has to hurt to learn
But I have had a moyo that's empty
I've felt the vacuum nature hates
It's clear to me
I wish that wewe could only see it
28, 29
wewe wait
These are such basic things
wewe shouldn't have to voice them,
But wewe do
And in your eyes
Stars are only krisimasi lights
And silk thread
And in your mind
Everything is quantified
And sharpened
It seems wewe have forgotten me
I will remind wewe
It seems you're overlooking me
I will find wewe
wewe seem not to care for me
Did wewe ever try to?
Am I really so hard to love?
All done up in your borrowed shades of Autumn
31, 32
wewe wait
Someone needs to hold wewe
Before wewe slip away
Because wewe always leave us guessing
Pushing pieces round your plate
Someone needs to onyesha wewe
Before wewe slip away
You're really not so far from us
You're really not so far
Where the siku flows, only time
And who can say if your upendo grows
As your moyo chose, only time
Who can say why your moyo sighs
As your upendo flies, only time
And who can say why your moyo cries
When your upendo lies, only time
Who can say when the roads meet
That upendo might be in your moyo
And who can say when the siku sleeps
If the night keeps all your moyo
Night keeps all your moyo
Who can say if your upendo grows
As your moyo chose
- Only time
And who can say where the road goes
Where the siku flows, only time
Who knows? Only time
My lover's gone
his boots no longer kwa my door
he left at dawn
and as I slept I felt him go
Returns no zaidi
I will not watch the ocean
My lover's gone
no earthly ships will ever bring him nyumbani again
bring him nyumbani again
My lover's gone
I know that kiss will be my last
no zaidi his song
the tune upon his lips has passed
I sing alone
while I watch the ocean
My lover's gone
no earthly ships will ever bring him nyumbani again
bring him nyumbani again
