Africville (Live)

Light broke in africville
All the mothers took their children out so far away
Down by the boats and they said ‘don’t leave, don’t leave me alone’

Young lovers walk hand in hand
Beach and the boardwalk, on through the sand and she says
'Do you love me?' and he says 'Oh, yes, sweet love, love deeper, please’

The iron blood carries love and rages like a storm
And picks you up without any warning
It meant nothing to you then
It means nothing to you now
If you're leaving, don't you dare leave me now
In africville

Letters came, letters received
And they said ‘do you love me’
‘Oh, I love you so very much
So very deeply indeed’

All the young lovers walk hand in hand
To the beach, and the boardwalk, off in the sand and she says
'I need you like, I need you like I need rain'

Iron blood carries love rages like a storm
And picks you up without any warning
It meant nothing to you then
It means nothing to you now
Don’t you dare leave me, don't you dare leave me now, leave me now
In africville

Sing it out
Alright now
We’ll be alright not
Alright now
