Slow, we paddle through the lake
Straight to the very center of the darkest water
Where we can embrace the shadows on the surface
The eyes that look up lifeless from our twins below
And though your arms and legs are under
upendo will be the echo in your ears when all is Lost and plundered
My upendo will be there still
True, it's chilling to behold
Up close we stumble backwards laughing in our boat
Till the image sinks away to someplace far but certain
A land of mere suspension where someday we must go
And though your arms and legs are under
upendo will be the echo in your ears when all is Lost and plundered
My upendo will be there still
Though your arms and legs are under
upendo will be the echo in your ears when all is Lost and plundered
My upendo will be there still
Straight to the very center of the darkest water

Dreamed last night about a time and place
Where from our troubles we had escaped
I held your hand and I felt complete
As wewe turned and alisema to me
From now on
From now on we'll be
wewe and me
We will be
From now on
From now on we'll be
wewe and me
wewe and me, we will be
Years went kwa and nothing changed
The upendo we shared just stayed the same
As hair grew grey on juu of our heads
Every night I quietly said
From now on
From now on we'll be
wewe and me
We will be
From now on
From now on we'll be
wewe and me
wewe and me, we will be
Only a dream
Only a dream
Only a dream
From now on
Only a dream
From now on
Only a dream

wewe and me, we will be

The moon is always full for us
The road is always clear
That's not what wewe want to hear
One is born so one can die
wewe must wait a real long time
That's zaidi than wewe can bear
And the days will come and go
And the band will march alone
Till the siku wewe cast a shadow
And it's nothing like your own
Rolling in on a burning tire
You're gonna set my house on fire
Just to onyesha me that wewe were there
Flowers raised up like a snake
wewe will raise to leave me bait
And always, always take
And the days will come and go
And the band will march alone
Till the siku wewe cast a shadow
And it's nothing like your own
The moon is always full for us
The road is always clear
That’s not what wewe want to hear
That’s not what wewe want to hear

The moon is always full for us
The road is always clear
That’s not what wewe want to hear
That’s not what wewe want to hear
It's all hats off now, all drum rolls and applause
kwa slight of the hand wewe will turn them into dust
A face to face wewe will lead them kwa the fall
A track fiend and the saw dust
You're allowed to stare it out
It’s all good luck charms
All trying to understand
Indeed inside me will always hope for worse
wewe say wewe keep them close by
They're closer than wewe think
A track fiend and the saw dust
You're allowed to stare it out
inayofuata spring will bring wewe back again
You'll sigh and crack the whip for us
And maybe wewe will be the one
Who'll draw the line in the sand
For us to crawl
It's all past bats now
All painting gorgeous time
And maybe when the night comes
You'll open up the cage
You'll open up the cage

I think I know what’s on your mind
A couple words, a great divide
Waiting in the wings, a small respite
Crowding up the foreground from behind
Even though you’re the only one I see
It’s the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
Take anything wewe want, it’s fine
Keep up the slow life for the night
Don’t take it back, I’ll just deny
This constant noise all the time
Even though you’re the only one I see
It’s the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
From the wind in front of me
Even though you’re the only one I see
It’s the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
From the wind in front of me
Even though you’re the only one I see

Situations are critical
wewe got to look first before wewe go
If wewe wasn’t too sure then now wewe know
The situations are critical
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before wewe go
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before wewe go
Deep into the darkness where I hide
The monsters are buried down deep inside
wewe never know when they’re satisfied
Buried down deep where the sun don’t shine
The monsters are buried down deep inside but
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before wewe go
You’re wasting away, ok, you’ve got to look before wewe go
Deep into the darkness where I hide
Deep into the darkness where I hide
Wait, ok, you’ve got to look before wewe go
Oh wait, ok, you’ve got to look before wewe go
You’re wasting away, ok, you’ve got to look before wewe go
Deep into the darkness where I hide

Should never think
What’s in your heart
What’s in our home
And so I won’t
And you’ll learn to hate me
Still call me baby
Oh, love
So call me kwa my name
And save your soul
Save your soul
Before you’re too far gone
Before nothing can be done
Try to decide when
She’ll lie in the end
Ain’t got no fight in me
In this whole damn world
Tell wewe to hold off
Choose to hold on
It’s one thing that I’ve known
Once I put my kanzu, koti on
Coming out in this all wrong, ooh
She’s standing outside holding me
Saying oh please
I’m in love
I’m in love
Girl save your soul, ooh
Save your soul
Before you’re too far gone
And before nothing can be done
‘Cause without me
wewe got it all
So hold on
Without me wewe got it all
Hold on
Without me wewe got it all
Without me wewe got it all
So hold on
Without me wewe got it all
So hold on
Without me wewe got it all
So hold on
What’s in your heart
What’s in our home
And so I won’t
And you’ll learn to hate me

I seek wewe out
Flay wewe alive
One zaidi word and wewe won’t survive
And I’m not scared of your stolen power
See right through wewe any hour
I won’t soothe your pain
I won’t ease your strain
You’ll be waiting in vain
I got nothing for wewe to gain
I’m taking it slow
Feeding my flame
Shuffling the cards of your game
And just in time
In the right place
Suddenly I will play my ace
I won’t soothe your pain
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
I won’t ease your strain
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
You’ll be waiting in vain
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
I got nothing for wewe to gain
Eyes on fire
Your spine is ablaze
Felling any foe with my gaze
And just in time
In the right place
Steadily emerging with grace
Aaaaahhhhh
Felling any foe with my gaze
Aaaaahhhhh
Steadily emerging with grace
Aaaaahhhhh
Felling any foe with my gaze
Aaaaahhhhh
Steadily emerging with grace
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
