Africville

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.
