(Oh, ayee)
(Manze, it’s cold tonight in Nakuru)
(Gloria, are you listening?)
I sit here watching lights across the Nakuru sky
Remembering the days when you were by my side
We walked these streets, we shared the dream so true
Every corner echoes back the ghost of you
You used to whisper, soft against the air
'Joshua, I love you', and I knew you cared
But now the silence is the only sound I know
Watching the shadow of a love that had to go
Oh Gloria Amondi, where did you stray?
My heart is running for you every single day
I’m lonely in Nakuru, missing your grace
Searching the crowd just to find your face
Yeah, Joshua still loves you, that’s the truth
You were the sunshine of my wayward youth
I pass the matatus, I walk the busy lane
But every busy street just brings me back to pain
You said forever, but forever felt so short
Now I am drifting like a ship without a port
The wind is blowing, but it carries no reply
Just the memory of a tear within your eye
I tell the darkness that I’m holding on to hope
Trying to climb this mountain, trying hard to cope
Oh Gloria Amondi, where did you stray?
My heart is running for you every single day
I’m lonely in Nakuru, missing your grace
Searching the crowd just to find your face
Yeah, Joshua still loves you, that’s the truth
You were the sunshine of my wayward youth
Adua teri dala ei nyakach
Wadag ewi got kama chiegni gi nyasaye ti ringo
Can you feel it? The rhythm of the beat?
The distance growing wider down this Nakuru street
I’m not a man of many words, you know me well
But this empty heart is a story I must tell
Oh Gloria Amondi, where did you stray?
My heart is running for you every single day
I’m lonely in Nakuru, missing your grace
Searching the crowd just to find your face
Yeah, Joshua still loves you, that’s the truth
You were the sunshine of my wayward youth
(Nakuru is lonely, Gloria)
(My heart is still running, manze)
(Joshua loves you, still)
(Come back home to me...)
