(Soft
marimba
notes
fade
in)
Omo,
the
rain
dey
fall
but
e
no
dey
wash
the
pain
Pamilerin
Okiki,
the
name
wey
dey
ring
like
echoes
See
gobe,
ehen,
ah-ah
I
look
at
the
window,
the
Lagos
sky
so
grey
Pamilerin,
you
say
you
go
leave
me,
just
like
that,
one
day
Okiki,
the
weight
of
your
silence
is
heavier
than
lead
I
dey
count
all
the
words
that
we
left
unsaid
Omo
Popoola,
your
absence
is
a
bitter
song
I
hum
Waitin
for
a
morning
that
I
fear
no
go
come
Pamilerin,
the
memories
dey
sting
like
fire
Okiki,
you
take
my
heart
and
you
throw
am
in
the
mire
Oh
Pamilerin,
my
heart
dey
carry
heavy
load
Why
you
choose
to
walk
away
from
this
same
road?
Okiki,
my
love
for
you,
e
no
go
fade,
no
dulling
But
the
pain,
e
choke,
it’
s
a
story
I
keep
telling
I
remember
the
laughter,
the
way
we
dey
catch
cruise
Now
I
dey
pace
the
floor,
I
get
nothing
left
to
lose
Popoola,
you
were
the
rhythm,
now
I’
m
singing
out
of
tune
Searching
for
your
shadow
underneath
the
lonely
moon
Shey
you
dey
hear
me?
My
voice
is
breaking
in
the
cold
Watching
how
our
love
story
fold,
so
tired
and
so
old
Pamilerin,
the
memories
dey
sting
like
fire
Okiki,
you
take
my
heart
and
you
throw
am
in
the
mire
Oh
Pamilerin,
my
heart
dey
carry
heavy
load
Why
you
choose
to
walk
away
from
this
same
road?
Okiki,
my
love
for
you,
e
no
go
fade,
no
dulling
But
the
pain,
e
choke,
it’
s
a
story
I
keep
telling
Time
go
heal,
they
say,
but
time
is
just
a
thief
Stealing
every
moment,
leaving
me
with
this
grief
Pamilerin,
Okiki,
I
call
your
name
in
the
dark
Just
a
flickering
ember,
struggling
for
a
spark
Pamilerin,
the
memories
dey
sting
like
fire
Okiki,
you
take
my
heart
and
you
throw
am
in
the
mire
Oh
Pamilerin,
my
heart
dey
carry
heavy
load
Why
you
choose
to
walk
away
from
this
same
road?
Okiki,
my
love
for
you,
e
no
go
fade,
no
dulling
But
the
pain,
e
choke,
it’
s
a
story
I
keep
telling (
Music
fades
out
slowly
with
marimba)
Pamilerin...
Okiki...
Popoola,
I
no
fit
forget...
No
dulling,
just
longing...
E
don
do...
