Kuli, Come Closer

Sanoitukset

[Intro] Kuli, come closer Kuli, don’t hide [Verse 1] You left your blue cup by the window Still warm from the morning sun I found your note beneath the keys there Two crooked lines that made me run You said, “Meet me where the mango tree Leans over old number two” So I tied my shoes, took the long way round Just to spend the day with you [Pre-Chorus] No grand speech, no careful plan Just your fingers finding my hand [Chorus] Kuli, Kuli, turn the whole day sweet Bring that little laugh and your steady feet Kuli, Kuli, when you call my name Every small road home feels new again [Verse 2] Auntie’s radio crossed the courtyard Someone’s cooking ginger rice You teased me for my dusty collar Then fixed it once, then fixed it twice We shared one orange on the front steps Counting seeds beside the gate If the evening asks us where we’re going Tell it we can make it wait [Pre-Chorus] No grand speech, no careful plan Just your fingers finding my hand [Chorus] Kuli, Kuli, turn the whole day sweet Bring that little laugh and your steady feet Kuli, Kuli, when you call my name Every small road home feels new again [Bridge] If the rain comes down, we’ll stay beneath the awning If the bus rolls past, we’ll walk until it’s gone You make a little room inside the ordinary And suddenly the ordinary carries on [Final Chorus] Kuli, Kuli, turn the whole day sweet Bring that little laugh and your steady feet Kuli, Kuli, when you call my name Every small road home feels new again [Outro] Kuli, come closer Kuli, don’t hide The cup is by the window And you’re here by my side
