Bukola My True Lover

Bukola my true lover

Where did you go

The river’s high

The moon hangs low

I search the night

But you don’t show

Bukola oh Bukola

You’re my heart's beat

Without your love

The blues taste sweet

Bukola my true lover

Come back complete

The wind it whispers your name to the trees

The stars they flicker like they agree

But you’re gone

Just a ghost in the breeze

Your laugh

Your touch

It lingers still

Like shadows dancing on my windowsill

Bukola oh Bukola

You’re my soul’s fire

Without your warmth

I’m cold

I tire

Bukola my true lover

My one desire

I built you a house with these two hands

Planted dreams in the sun-drenched sands

But now I stand here

Just a lonely man
