Sundial motion, watch it turn

Verse

Six in the morning, dust on the square

Brass sundial catching the light up there

Aunty stirring kola beside the wall

Your shadow's short, so is mine, so small

Smoke of roasted corn drifting through the heat

Your sandals tapping soft against the street

Noon is climbing, shadow starts to grow

Every step we take, we let it go slow

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why the hours feel so kind

When your hand is only steps from mine

Does the sun know we're not in a rush

Watching light slide gold across your blush

Chorus

Sundial motion, watch it turn

Sundial motion, slow to learn

Time don pass but we still here

Sundial motion, keep us near

Verse

Market closing, mango branch hangs low

Shadow stretching where the traders go

Palm wine seller pours the evening down

Orange dust is settling on the town

You trace circles on the old stone rim

Tracking how the light moves, chasing him

Nobody's calling, nowhere we should be

Just the shadow moving, you and me

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why the hours feel so kind

When your hand is only steps from mine

Does the sun know we're not in a rush

Watching light slide gold across your blush

Chorus

Sundial motion, watch it turn

Sundial motion, slow to learn

Time don pass but we still here

Sundial motion, keep us near

Bridge

Shadow's gone when the dark comes round

But you're still standing on the same ground

Didn't need the light to know you're mine

Some things move without the sun or time

Chorus

Sundial motion, watch it turn

Sundial motion, slow to learn

Time don pass but we still here

Sundial motion, keep us near
