So sad I had to go

(Kouyate)

A total stranger came between us Until it's safe no one will know

(Kouyate)

There is a secret between us We must keep it to ourselves

(Kouyate)

All the love we shared between us We can't tell nobody else

(Kouyate)

There is a secret between us Staring hard at my TV

But that blue flicker doesn't comfort me

It hurts so much the memory of her tender touch

In my dreams, I call A man of war on glory road

A native girl whose tale was never told

Now we must live a lie to point blank accusations

I have denied it all I live for the day, I live for the hour

When I'm free to speak your name

And reveal to the world our secret Underneath that bowl of stars

She lay me down to heal my battle scars

She taught me love, the one thing I knew nothing of

And she made me see I had to leave that scattered place

I kept the secret to avoid disgrace

But there will come a time

When I return to make her mine in a world so free I live for this day, I live for this hour

When I'm in your arms again, yeah

And we both yield to love's power Be patient now, we can't resist

The raging storm of prejudice

Hate has silenced love We took the village by surprise

No time to see the stranger's hate filled eyes

For this sad consequence, they had no defense In the midst off all that pain, I heard her call

"Kouyate is my name, love conquers all" I live for this day, I live for this hour

When I'm in your arms again

And we both yield to love's power So sad I had to go

(Kouyate)

With so much love to share between us Until it's safe, no one will know

(Kouyate)

There is a secret between us Kouyate, Kouyate, Kouyate
