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
