Honey on the Tongue

Verse 1

Yellow

Dusty air

Road to the village

Sun is dipping low

Your head rests on my shoulder

Driving slow

We move through the tall grass

The windows down

Chorus

This is our golden hour

Sweet like honey on the tongue

This is our golden hour

Staying young

I love the way you look at me

I love the way you look at me

I love the way you look at me

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Just you and I

Oh oh oh

Under the sky

Verse 2

Warm

Static hum

Radio is playing

A song from ninety-four

Mama used to hum this tune

Outside the church door

The talking drum

It echoes through the valley

Deep and wide

You have nothing left to hide

Chorus

This is our golden hour

Sweet like honey on the tongue

This is our golden hour

Staying young

I love the way you look at me

I love the way you look at me

I love the way you look at me

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Just you and I

Oh oh oh

Under the sky

Bridge

Shake the gourd

The rhythm takes us home

Through the sand

Where the palm trees grow

I found a peace

I found a light

I found a home

Right here tonight

Chorus

This is our golden hour

Sweet like honey on the tongue

This is our golden hour

Staying young

I love the way you look at me

I love the way you look at me

I love the way you look at me

Outro

Lagos sun is setting

Setting

Setting

We are home now

Safe and sound

On this ground
