Elongo

The last of some bad debris
Falls through the coconut trees
Twilight claims me
Inching calmly

Through restaurant radios
Came a calypso
Stood with elongo
Inside a shadow

Elongo how long though
from here to San Pedro
we draw lines in the sand
Elongo how long though
Until we will get back home
The sun is setting low

Will youth come and go
Singing the songs they know
Like Mother Teresa
And Vishnu Siddhartha
And you fly paper planes
A cow wake is where they lay
The roots of your family
The guns of your history

Eloongo how longo
From here to San Pedro
We draw lines in the sand
Elongo how long though
Until we will get back home
The sun is setting low

Is it sailing away
Or am I waiting in vain?
Do you break all your chains
For it to all wash away

Elongo how longo
From here to San Pedro
We draw maps in the sand
Elongo how long though
Until we will get back home
The sun is setting low

Elongo how longo
From here to San Pedro
Elongo how longo
From here to San Pedro
We draw lines in the sands
We draw lines in the sands
