Midnight in the Dunes

Come closer... the sand remembers everything.

Desert moon hangin' low like a secret,

and you... you the only one who can keep it.

Smoke on the river, gold on your skin,

Heat in the silence where the shadows begin,

You walk like a rumor the night can't hold,

Velvet in the dark, and your eyes burn cold.

I been ridin' alone on a dust-road prayer,

Till I caught your perfume hangin' heavy in the air,

Now the stars lean in like they wanna confess,

Every sin I got is wearin' your dress.

Don't say a word, let the drum say it slow,

Let the bass in your chest tell me where we go,

Hold me like the tide holds the moon,

Drown me, darling, drown me soon.

Midnight in the dunes, we move like fire,

Bodies in the shadow, wrapped in desire,

Whisper my name where the cold winds play,

Love me in the dark till the night fades away.

Closer...

Deeper...

Yo! Mi gyal a move like the river run deep,

Hips in the rhythm while the whole town sleep,

Bassline a knock like a heart in the chest,

Fire in the dance and she nah need no rest!

Wine it slow, gyal, wine it slow,

Under the moonlight, the whole world glow,

Mi nah need gold, mi nah need fame,

Just the sound of your voice when ya call mi name!

Concrete heart but you crack it like glass,

Livin' too fast, but with you, I'm the past and the present,

Pleasant — nah, this dangerous,

Two souls tangled in the same dark canvas,

Grew up hard where the sirens sing,

Never knew love till you showed me the thing,

Now I'm lost in the hum of your midnight hymn,

Ride with me, baby, let the lights go dim.

Midnight in the dunes, we move like fire,

Bodies in the shadow, wrapped in desire,

Whisper my name where the cold winds play,

Love me in the dark till the night fades away.

I was the storm, you were the sand,

Shapin' each other with a restless hand.

And if the morning come to tear us apart,

I'll bury your name in the dust of my heart.

Seh wha'?

Hold me tighter—

Seh wha'?

Burnin' brighter—

Big bass a drop, gyal, feel it inna yuh soul!

Midnight in the dunes, we move like fire,

Bodies in the shadow, wrapped in desire,

Whisper my name where the cold winds play,

Love me in the dark till the night fades away.

The sand remembers...

...and so do I.
