Darling it came back to me slowly
While I was working in the morning rain
Thinking about how the full moon last night
Danced between my window paneIt was over two years ago now
We made our way to the lions head
By this moonlight we climbed that mountain
With a couple blankets we would spreadIt was there we moved the pebbles
Gathered up some bigger stones
Stacked them one foot high to block the wind
From entering in our new homeTo the east, the Mother City
To the west, the brisk blue sea
To the south, table mountain looked north
At an islands historyFrom the lions eyes
From the lions headCHORUS
We watched the sun dive down into the ocean
We watched the city lights flicker and fade
We watched the darkness make love to the mountains
While discovering what the stars displayedAnd as I held you like the morning holds the sun
The universe ran down our spines
We tasted freedom, we tasted the sea upon our tongues
We tasted everything alignWe woke before the city,
Before the sunlight came
Had no rooftop, had no walls,
Just horizons as our window panesYou read, I played sweet music
Looking down from above the clouds
Through the clearings the sea was mighty
Mighty loving, mighty proudFrom the lions eyes
From the lions headCHORUS
