[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
Bukola oh Bukola
You’re my heart's beat
Without your love
The blues taste sweet
Bukola my true lover
Come back complete
[Verse 2]
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
[Prechorus]
Your laugh
Your touch
It lingers still
Like shadows dancing on my windowsill
[Chorus]
Bukola oh Bukola
You’re my soul’s fire
Without your warmth
I’m cold
I tire
Bukola my true lover
My one desire
[Bridge]
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
