Gold on the Water

Shoes in my hand, let's go slow, let's go

Left my phone face-down on the seat Sand still warm from the afternoon heat Toes in the foam Kids chasing kites where the wind picks up strong Somebody's speaker playing low by the stall Roasted corn smoke drifting over it all Sky turning orange Then turning to wine No rush No deadline, just the tide keeping time And the sun leaning down Like it wants to stay a while

Walk with me, walk with me, gold on the water Oòrùn ń wọ̀, inú mi dùn Just a little more light, just a little longer Jẹ́ ká rọra rìn, má yára o

Atẹ́gùn òkun ń fẹ́ lára mi Ìgbì omi ń wá, ó tún ń lọ Ẹsẹ̀ wa wà nínú iyanrìn Kò sí wàhálà Kò sí ìkánjú Ojú ọ̀run ti di pupa Ẹ̀rín wa ń dún Ayé dùn ní ìrọ̀lẹ́ yìí

Walk with me, walk with me, gold on the water Oòrùn ń wọ̀, inú mi dùn Just a little more light, just a little longer Jẹ́ ká rọra rìn, má yára o

Now the sun slips under Nobody's sad 'Cause the sky holds the colour long after it's gone First star blinking on We still got the shoreline Still got the song, so we keep it moving on

Walk with me, walk with me, gold on the water Oòrùn ń wọ̀, inú mi dùn Just a little more light, just a little longer Jẹ́ ká rọra rìn, má yára o

Gold on the water, and we're walking home
