Lyrics Level 42 – Kouyaté
Text:
So sad I had to go
(Kouyate)
A total stranger came between us
Until it’s safe no-one will know
There is a secret between us
We must keep it to ourselves
(Kouyate)
All the love we shared between us
We can’t tell nobody else
(Kouyate)
There is a secret between us
Staring hard at my tv
But that blue flicker doesn’t comfort me
It hurts so much
The memory of her tender touch
In my dreams I call
A man-of-war on glory road
A native girl whose tale was never told
Now we must live a lie
To point blank accusations I
Have denied it all
I live for the day
I live for the hour
When I’m free to speak your name
And reveal to the world — our secret
Underneath that bowl of stars
She lay me down to heal my battlescars
She taught me love
The one thing I knew nothing of
I had to leave that scattered place
I kept the secret to avoid disgrace
But there will come a time
When I return to make her mine
In a world so free
I live for this day
I live for this hour
When I’m in your arms again, yeah
And we both yield to love’s power
Be patient now we can’t resist
The racing storm of prejudice
Hate … has … silenced … love …
We took the village by surprise
No time to see the strangers hate filled eyes
For this sad consequence
They had no defense
In the midst off all that pain
I heard her call
«Kouyate is my name
Love conquers all»
solo
I live for this day
I live for this hour
When I’m in your arms again
And we both yield to love’s power
So sad I had to go
(Kouyate)
With so much love to share between us
Until it’s safe no-one will know
(Kouyate)
There is a secret between us
