Slowburn — Midnight Ember

Verse

Charcoal smoke curling under the tin roof

Palm oil sizzle, that's the only proof

Your bracelet clinking soft against my wrist

Three in the morning, still we ain't dismissed

Pre-Chorus

How we gonna keep this ember lit

When the whole world moving quick, quick, quick

Tell me can you feel it building slow

Chorus

Slowburn, let it stay, let it grow

Slowburn, hold the heat, take it slow

Don't rush the fire, don't let it go

Slowburn, slowburn, easy, easy glow

Verse

Lantern swinging on the mango tree

Your waist finding rhythm, leaning into me

Cassava leaves still simmering low

Nobody counting, nobody gotta go

Pre-Chorus

How we gonna keep this ember lit

When the whole world moving quick, quick, quick

Tell me can you feel it building slow

Chorus

Slowburn, let it stay, let it grow

Slowburn, hold the heat, take it slow

Don't rush the fire, don't let it go

Slowburn, slowburn, easy, easy glow

Bridge

Ash don't fall till the story's told

Some things good when they burning cold

Patience dey sweet like the harmattan wind

Let the coals talk, let the night begin

Chorus

Slowburn, let it stay, let it grow

Slowburn, hold the heat, take it slow

Don't rush the fire, don't let it go

Slowburn, slowburn, easy, easy glow

Slowburn, slowburn, this the only glow
