Afro Blue

(album: Royal - 2020)

Dream of a land my soul is from
I hear the hand stroke on the drum
Shades of delight, call, call you
Rich as the night, afro blue

Elegant boy, beautiful girl
Dancing for joy, delicate world
Shades of delight, call, call you
Rich as the night, afro blue

Two young lovers face to face
With undulating grace
They gently swayed and slip away
To some secluded place
Shades of delight, call, call you
Rich as the night, afro blue

Whispering trees echo their sighs
Passionate pleas, tender replies
Shades of delight, call, call you
Rich as the night, afro blue

Lovers in flight, upward they glide
Burst at the height, slowly subside
Shades of delight, call, call you
Rich as the night, afro blue

And slumbering fantasy
Assumed reality
Until it seems it's not a dream
The two are you and me
Shades of delight, call, call you
Rich as the night, afro blue
