Long handwritten note, deep in your pocket
Words, how little they mean, when you're a little too late
I stood right kwa the tracks, your face in a locket
Good girls, hopeful they'll be, and lonely we'll wait

We had a beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic upendo affair

In dreams, I meet wewe in long conversation
We both wake in lonely beds, and different cities
And time is ticking a sweet summer race in you
And you've got your demons and darling they all look like me

'Cause we had a beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic upendo affair

Distance, timing, break down, fighting
Silence, this train runs off its tracks
Kiss me, try to fix it, would wewe just try to listen
Hang up, give up, for the life of us we can't get it back

A beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic, beautiful tragic, beautiful
What we had, a beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic upendo affair
We had a beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic upendo affair
