(Aweh)
It's cold in this house tonight, Olwethu Mzathu
(Eish)
I’m walking through the rooms where your ghost still hides
The silence is loud, there’s nowhere to run and hide
I see your coffee cup sitting by the door
I don’t know why I keep it, I don’t know what for
The city lights are flickering, looking so gray
Ever since the morning that you walked away
I’m drowning in the memories of the life we knew
I’m finding every road leads me back to you
Olwethu Mzathu, come back to me
You’re the only light that I want to see
(Sharp sharp)
My heart is heavy, I can’t let you go
You’re the only rhythm that my soul wants to know
Olwethu Mzathu, please hear my plea
You make me happy, bring it back to me
(Yebo)
I’m waiting for the day you walk through the door
I’m loving you now like I never did before
People tell me move on, that I should be strong
But they don’t see the nights where everything goes wrong
I’m playing back the voicemails just to hear your tone
It’s hard to build a kingdom when you’re standing alone
The log drums are beating like a heart in the dark
I’m missing the fire, I’m missing the spark
(Sho)
I’m tired of the pride, I’m tired of the wall
I’m waiting for your name, I’m waiting for your call
Olwethu Mzathu, come back to me
You’re the only light that I want to see
(Sharp sharp)
My heart is heavy, I can’t let you go
You’re the only rhythm that my soul wants to know
Olwethu Mzathu, please hear my plea
You make me happy, bring it back to me
(Yebo)
I’m waiting for the day you walk through the door
I’m loving you now like I never did before
I know we had our fights, I know we had the pain
But sunshine is better when we’re out of the rain
(Asambe)
I’m ready to change, I’m ready to grow
Just give me a chance, baby, please don’t go
If you come home, I promise to listen this time
I’ll keep our love sacred, I’ll keep it sublime
The streets are empty, the vibe is all wrong
You’re the missing verse in my favorite song
Olwethu Mzathu, you’re the sun in my sky
I’m done with the hurting, I’m done with the lie
Just look at me now, look deep in my eyes
Only with you do I reach my rise
Olwethu Mzathu, come back to me
You’re the only light that I want to see
(Sharp sharp)
My heart is heavy, I can’t let you go
You’re the only rhythm that my soul wants to know
Olwethu Mzathu, please hear my plea
You make me happy, bring it back to me
(Yebo)
I’m waiting for the day you walk through the door
I’m loving you now like I never did before
Olwethu Mzathu, come back home
(Aweh)
I don’t want to be alone
Just you and me, the way it used to be
(Sharp sharp, asambe)
