light broke in africville
all the mothers took their children out so far away,
down by the boats where you said I need you the most
and young lovers walk hand in hand
the beaches boardwalk oceans and sand and she says
'do you love?' and he says 'yes i love' indeed
blood carries love rages like a storm
holds you, throws you without warning
it meant nothing to you then,
it means nothing to you now
if you're leaving, don't you dare leave me now,
in africville.
Young lovers walk hand in hand
Beach and the boardwalk and ocean sand
They say 'do you love' and they say 'yes I love' indeed
Letters sent, letters received
One for you and one for me
That said 'do you love' and I said 'yes I love' indeed
blood carries love rages like a storm
and it leads you out in life without any warning
it meant nothing to you then,
it means nothing to you now
if you're leaving, don't you dare leave me now,
in africville.
