Promise Land Love

[Verse 1]
Met you up in Promise Land
Dust on my shoes
Wristband on my hand
You laughed at my two-left-feet dance
Said
"Boy
You better give that groove a chance" (hey!)
PNG queen in hi-vis tan
FIFO life
Suitcase plans
White boy lost in the festival crowd
Found home in your smile somehow
[Chorus]
Promise Land love
Yeah
You and me
From the red dirt flights to the Melbourne streets
You call from site
I’m half asleep
But your voice makes the distance feel so sweet
Promise Land love
We make it through
Long swing days till I’m back with you
Whole wide world in the palm of our hands
Ever since you touched my heart in Promise Land (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
You’re counting down those dusty nights
I’m on shift under city lights
You send me pics of sunrise skies
I send you jokes just to hear you sigh
Week on week off
We chase that time
Airport kisses at the baggage line
You taste like coffee and chewing gum
And every goodbye cuts
But we don’t run
[Chorus]
Promise Land love
Yeah
You and me
From the red dirt flights to the Melbourne streets
You call from site
I’m half asleep
But your voice makes the distance feel so sweet
Promise Land love
We make it through
Long swing days till I’m back with you
Whole wide world in the palm of our hands
Ever since you touched my heart in Promise Land
[Bridge]
If the plane’s delayed
If the phone line fades
Still your name
Keeps my heart in place
Different worlds
But we share one song
Every little step
Says we belong (we belong)
[Chorus]
Promise Land love
Yeah
You and me
From the red dirt flights to the Melbourne streets
You call from site
I’m half asleep
But your voice makes the distance feel so sweet
Promise Land love
We make it through
Long swing days till I’m back with you
Whole wide world in the palm of our hands
Ever since you touched my heart in Promise Land
Ever since you took my hand in Promise Land

Warm mid-tempo reggae groove with laid-back skank guitar and round bass, light offbeat keys. Male vocals, easy singalong chorus, soft female harmonies on hooks. Drums keep a relaxed island sway; bridge strips to bass and percussion then blooms back with stacked vocals and a bright brass line for the final chorus., reggae
