Kouyate - Level 42

Until it’s safe no-one will know

(kouyate)

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

And she made me see

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

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)
