Lyrics

[female

vocals] (

Gentle

acoustic

guitar

picking,

rhythmic,

melancholic) (

Muffled

sounds

of

a

distant

city

street)

Oh-oh,

mmm,

yeah

The

Copperbelt

wind

is

cold

tonight

Without

you

here

to

hold

the

light

I

remember

the

dust

on

the

road

to

Ndola

You

had

your

head

on

my

shoulder,

thinking

we

were

bolder

Than

the

shadows

that

creep

when

the

sun

goes

down

Now

I’

m

just

a

stranger

walking

through

this

town

Every

street

corner

whispers

your

name

in

the

breeze

I’

m

falling

apart,

brought

down

to

my

knees

The

guitar

strings

weep

what

I

cannot

say

Since

the

moment

you

packed

up

and

walked

away

Oh,

my

darling,

why

did

you

let

the

fire

die?

I’

m

dancing

with

ghosts

underneath

this

Zambian

sky

The

rhythm

is

heavy,

the

acoustic

is

low

Watching

the

shadows

of

everything

we

used

to

know

Heartbreak

is

a

dance

that

I’

m

doing

alone

In

this

house

that

feels

less

and

less

like

a

home

Yeah,

you

left

me

stranded,

I’

m

feeling

the

sting

Of

a

song

that

we

once

used

to

sing

I

see

your

face

in

the

market,

I

see

your

ghost

in

the

rain

Is

it

love

or

just

the

echo

of

a

beautiful

pain?

We

built

a

kingdom

on

dreams

and

a

little

bit

of

pride

But

there

was

nowhere

left

for

our

secrets

to

hide

My

mother

said

keep

your

head

up,

look

to

the

stars

But

she

didn't

know

the

depth

of

these

hidden

scars

I’

m

strumming

these

chords

just

to

mask

all

the

tears

Living

in

a

loop

of

the

very

same

fears

Oh,

my

darling,

why

did

you

let

the

fire

die?

I’

m

dancing

with

ghosts

underneath

this

Zambian

sky

The

rhythm

is

heavy,

the

acoustic

is

low

Watching

the

shadows

of

everything

we

used

to

know

Heartbreak

is

a

dance

that

I’

m

doing

alone

In

this

house

that

feels

less

and

less

like

a

home

Yeah,

you

left

me

stranded,

I’

m

feeling

the

sting

Yeah,

you

left

me

stranded,

I’

m

feeling

the

sting

Of

a

song

that

we

once

used

to

sing (

Choir

humming

softly,

distant

and

sad)

Is

it

really

over?

Can

we

mend

what

is

broken?

So

many

words

that

were

never

quite

spoken

The

bass

kicks

slow,

like

a

heart

losing

beat

I’

m

still

searching

for

you

on

every

single

street

No,

it

won't

be

the

same,

no,

it

won't

be

alright

Not

while

I’

m

drifting

through

this

long,

lonely

night

Oh,

my

darling,

why

did

you

let

the

fire

die?

I’

m

dancing

with

ghosts

underneath

this

Zambian

sky

The

rhythm

is

heavy,

the

acoustic

is

low

Watching

the

shadows

of

everything

we

used

to

know

Heartbreak

is

a

dance

that

I’

m

doing

alone

In

this

house

that

feels

less

and

less

like

a

home

Yeah,

you

left

me

stranded,

I’

m

feeling

the

sting

Yeah,

you

left

me

stranded,

I’

m

feeling

the

sting

Of

a

song

that

we

once

used

to

sing (

Acoustic

guitar

fades

slowly)

Yeah,

just

an

echo

now

Copperbelt

sunset,

fading

away

I’

m

still

here,

waiting

on

the

dawn

But

you’

re

already

gone (

Final

guitar

pluck,

resonance

lingers)
