Slow Wine by the Bonfire (версия 2)

Verse

Bonfire cracking, throwing shadows on your neck

Roasted corn smoke, sweet and thick, no regret

Harmattan wind pulling closer to the heat

Ankle bells jingle every time you move your feet

Firelight climbing slow across your collarbone

Drum dey knock small, calling bodies close to home

You catch my eye, then you catch the rhythm too

Sparks flying up, but I'm only watching you

Pre-Chorus

So slow, so slow, don't you rush the flame

Say my name, say my name

Embers glowing, tell me when you're mine

I got time, I got time

Chorus

Slow wine by the bonfire, slow wine by the bonfire

Sparks in your hair, smoke in the sky

Slow wine by the bonfire, slow wine by the bonfire

Nowhere to run, no need to try

Verse

Cassava roasting, palm oil dripping on the coal

Your waist dey turn like water finding its own bowl

Stars come out but they no shine like your face

Firewood popping, keeping rhythm, keeping pace

Your hand slide down, my hand find your waist small small

Heat from the fire, heat from you, I feel it all

Night getting deep, the crowd done thin around

Just me and you now, dancing low and slow, no sound

Pre-Chorus

So close, so close, the fire dey burn low

Don't let go, don't let go

Ember light dey dance inside your eyes

I got time, I got time

Chorus

Slow wine by the bonfire, slow wine by the bonfire

Sparks in your hair, smoke in the sky

Slow wine by the bonfire, slow wine by the bonfire

Nowhere to run, no need to try

Bridge

Fire dey die but we no dey mind

Ash on the ground, your head on mine

Quiet now, just breathing, just skin

Let the smoke keep what we begin

Chorus

Slow wine by the bonfire, slow wine by the bonfire

Sparks in your hair, smoke in the sky

Slow wine by the bonfire, slow wine by the bonfire

Nowhere to run, no need to try
