Coastal Escape

[Intro]
[Verse]
Auntie’s in the parlor talking loud
Hiding in the shadow of the crowd
Grab the keys, don't make a sound
Feet are itching for the sandy ground
Sister, grab your wrap and run
Our night has just begun
Leave the tea and silver spoons
We’re dancing under different moons
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you smell the pepper on the breeze?
Moving through the tall palm trees
Leave the heels by the gate
Joy won't ever wait
[Chorus]
Dancing on the edge of the tide
Let the rhythm be your only guide
Salt in the air, love in the soul
Losing every bit of control
Oya, dance for me!
Set your spirit free!
[Hook]
Shake it, move it (Oya!)
Don't you lose it (Oya!)
Feel the dunun drum (Oya!)
Here the magic comes (Oya!)
[Verse]
Fireflies dancing in the smoke
Laughing till we nearly choke
Jollof steaming on the grill
Time is standing perfectly still
Djembe beating in my chest
Forget about the Sunday best
Sand between our happy toes
That’s just how the story goes
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you smell the pepper on the breeze?
Moving through the tall palm trees
Leave the heels by the gate
Joy won't ever wait
[Chorus]
Dancing on the edge of the tide
Let the rhythm be your only guide
Salt in the air, love in the soul
Losing every bit of control
Oya, dance for me!
Set your spirit free!
[Bridge]
Ore mi, look at the moon
Singing a golden tune
Dunun drum calling your name
We are never quite the same
Underneath the Ghana sky
Watching all the worries fly
No more lectures, no more rules
We aren't anybody's fools
[Chorus]
Dancing on the edge of the tide
Let the rhythm be your only guide
Salt in the air, love in the soul
Losing every bit of control
Oya, dance for me!
Set your spirit free!
[Post-Chorus]
Shake it, move it (Oya!)
Don't you lose it (Oya!)
Feel the dunun drum (Oya!)
Here the magic comes (Oya!)
[Outro]
