Ginger for the Road

Verse

Street light low, the generator humming

Your hand on my waist like a song already begun

Bare feet tapping but the night is not cold

You bring out something in me I thought was old

Neighbour's kids sleeping while we steal away

We walk where the street lamp don't reach to stay

Palm wine smell carry us through the dark

The world forget that the day still mark

Pre-Chorus

Now tell me, who go be your guide tonight

Who carry you safe through the heavy light?

Chorus

Ginger for the road

You dey give me ginger

No fear, no doubt

When I dey walk with you

Ginger for the road

Sun don set but e still glow

We go move, we go move till the morning show

Verse

The market close, your hand on my hand like a map

Every corner lead us straight to where the night clap

Your scent like sugar rush through my chest

I no know which one of us go pass the test

Candlelight spill like gold dust on stone

We walk slow so the magic don't leave alone

The stars above just dey twinkle and spin

You bring out ginger in me I never knew was kin

Pre-Chorus

Now tell me, who go be your guide tonight

Who carry you safe through the heavy light?

Chorus

Ginger for the road

You dey give me ginger

No fear, no doubt

When I dey walk with you

Ginger for the road

Sun don set but e still glow

We go move, we go move till the morning show

Bridge

Maybe the night na just a borrowed time

The way your eyes shine make it all mine

If the world ask why we no sleep at all

I dey count blessings that your touch bring to me

When I look in your face, I see us go round 2

Not tomorrow or next but right here now, I'm sound

Chorus

Ginger for the road

You dey give me ginger

No fear, no doubt

When I dey walk with you

Ginger for the road

Sun don set but e still glow

We go move, we go move till the morning show
