Gemme the Sun (rooted)

Verse 1

Boogone writes before the morning breaks

A little prayer on a nylon string

He hums a psalm for the sleepy town

Then the trade winds carry everything

Pre-Chorus

He says the rhythm was here before we came

The rhythm will be here when we're gone

So I hold my breath and I listen close

Chorus

Boogone give me a summer

Give me the sun

Boogone give me a summer

And the rain will come as one

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh sing it slow

Oh-oh let it grow

Verse 2

He plants a verse like a breadfruit seed

Patient as the tide on the shore

My grandmother swayed to his gentle tune

And her mother swayed before

Pre-Chorus

He says the river don't argue with the stone

The river just finds a way

So I let my troubles roll on down

Chorus

Boogone give me a summer

Give me the sun

Boogone give me a summer

And the rain will come as one

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh sing it slow

Oh-oh let it grow

Bridge

Prophet of the porch light

Prophet of the plain

Prophet of the morning rain

Boogone

Chorus

Boogone give me a summer

Give me the sun

Boogone give me a summer

And the rain will come as one

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh sing it slow

Oh-oh let it grow

Oh-oh sing it slow

Oh-oh let it grow
