We dey move where the shadow lean (versie 2)

Verse

Iron pole for the yard, shadow dey stretch

Moon dey climb, we dey watch how e shift

Bench full up, tarpaulin dey flap for the wind

Lamp for corner dey burn since the day begin

Shadow touch the mango tree, that na eleven

Small crowd dey gather, sky still get heaven

Gerald bring the drum, Tunde bring the gin

Shadow start to move, we start to lean in

Pre-Chorus

Watch where the shadow go

That's how the night go flow

No clock dey rule this ground

Just shadow turning round

Chorus

We dey move where the shadow lean

Step by step, mark the time between

Pole for the middle, we circle am slow

Follow the shadow, that's how we go

Verse

Shadow reach the well now, that's one o'clock

Bata dey shuffle for the sand and rock

Someone don light the second lamp for the wall

Shadow get longer, but we no dey stall

Palm wine keg dey pass from hand to hand

Shadow touch the fence now, we still dey stand

Old man dey clap for the corner, counting time

Shadow na the clock and the beat na the rhyme

Pre-Chorus

Watch where the shadow go

That's how the night go flow

No clock dey rule this ground

Just shadow turning round

Chorus

We dey move where the shadow lean

Step by step, mark the time between

Pole for the middle, we circle am slow

Follow the shadow, that's how we go

Bridge

When the moon go hide, shadow go disappear

But the ground remember everybody here

Footprint for the sand, that's the mark we leave

Time don pass but the joy no dey leave

Chorus

We dey move where the shadow lean

Step by step, mark the time between

Pole for the middle, we circle am slow

Follow the shadow, that's how we go
