Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Lagos moon is climbing high Talking drums begin to cry Smell of jollof on the breeze Dancing through the coconut trees The rhythm hits my soul I’m losing all control [Pre-Chorus] Then I saw the shimmer Golden light getting slimmer That anklet on your feet Moving to the heavy beat You look my way and smile Stay with me a little while [Chorus] Oh my baby, don’t you run We are only just begun Swaying like the palm fronds do I just want to be with you In this Lagos summer night Everything is feeling right [Post-Chorus] Ah-ya, the rhythm is sweet Ah-ya, feel the tropical heat Ah-ya, don’t you leave my side Ah-ya, enjoy the rising tide [Verse] Footprints on the silver sand Catch me if you really can Salt air tasting like a dream Life is better than it seems Trumpets stabbing through the dark We ignite a little spark [Chorus] Oh my baby, don’t you run We are only just begun Swaying like the palm fronds do I just want to be with you In this Lagos summer night Everything is feeling right [Bridge] Fairy lights above our heads Where the purple magic spreads Sipping zobo, ice so cold Stories that are yet untold Your hand inside of mine Everything is looking fine [Verse] Street party drums in the distance I can’t offer no resistance You’re the queen of the shoreline Glad to say that you are mine Keep that gold anklet clicking While the clock is busy ticking [Chorus] Oh my baby, don’t you run We are only just begun Swaying like the palm fronds do I just want to be with you In this Lagos summer night Everything is feeling right [Post-Chorus] Ah-ya, the rhythm is sweet Ah-ya, feel the tropical heat Ah-ya, don’t you leave my side Ah-ya, enjoy the rising tide [Outro]
