Mushanga |
I can’t forget you, my little Mushanga, I keep a place in my heart for you |
The days of waiting, they keep getting longer, and not a thing I can do I was a poet, a magazine writer, sent to report on political views |
It was by chance, through a lens that I met you, a Kingston girl with no shoes |
You were runnin’down the road, I was going your way |
You stopped and turned around, and lent you my hand |
You smiled though you were suffering, I didn’t understand, then |
You broke into my heart, I saw your eyes and then I knew |
You broke into my heart, like the wind and rain that followed you |
You broke into my heart, had the Lord above forgotten you? |
You broke in from the start, and all my tears belong to you |
Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh I sat and watched as she danced by the fires |
Through ancient songs did the tale unfold |
They sang of diamonds that came from their mountains |
And loss of lives mining white man’s gold |
I had to leave and go back to Manhattan |
Where all my stories are bought and sold |
I know the city would surely be saddened, if what I knew could be told |
It’s been so long since I last heard your laughter |
So many letters and still no news |
I hope you find all the things that you’re after |
You know my heart is with you |
Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh (repeats 3x) |
