Lyrics
Description
[Arrangement note]
BPM ~90. Soft talking drum rolls, muted guitar plucks, sub-bass heartbeat, sparse piano/synth pad under percussion.
[Verse 1]
Market at dusk, lantern in my hand,
Harmattan wind, dust marks the sand.
Footsteps fade along the dusty road,
A single lantern swings, memory's load.
[soft talking drum roll, muted guitar pluck]
[Pre-Chorus]
Night breeze, salt on the air,
Lantern light, your shadow there.
I trace the lane where we used to meet,
Feet in the dust, my pulse keeps the beat.
[Chorus]
My heart still calls your name
Night keeps echoing our flame
Lantern low, I let go
Calls return, the drums reply
(Call) Calls your name — (Resp) Calls your name
(Call) Ah — (Resp) Ah, calls your name
[repeated vocal motif]
[Verse 2]
Stall bells close, paper wrappers fold,
Smoke from the kettle, stories grown old.
Street vendor's song cuts through the night,
Muted guitar plucks, a soft low light.
[sub-bass hum, light shaker on the offbeat]
[Pre-Chorus]
You were the lantern, I followed slow,
We walked the road where the night breezes blow.
A seller laughs, a child runs past,
I keep your scent in the harmattan blast.
[Chorus]
My heart still calls your name
Night keeps echoing our flame
Lantern low, I let go
Calls return, the drums reply
(Call) Calls your name — (Resp) Calls your name
(Call) Ah — (Resp) Ah, calls your name
[Bridge — arrangement]
[drop percussion, pull back to pad and single muted guitar]
Quiet now, the market breathes,
Lantern smoke, the night believes.
Whispered chorus, near and thin,
I fold the memory, let it in.
[reintroduce percussion with percussive stabs, harmonies rise]
[Bridge - vocal lift]
You call — I answer, slow and low,
You call — the night begins to glow.
(Lead) I call your name — (Group) I call your name
(Lead) I call your name — (Group) I call your name
[Chorus — final]
My heart still calls your name
Night keeps echoing our flame
Lantern low, I let go
Calls return, the drums reply
(Call) Calls your name — (Resp) Calls your name
(Call) Ah — (Resp) Ah, calls your name
[Outro]
[sub-bass fades, talking drum rolls soften]
Lantern swings, one last light,
Dusty road, and the hushed night.
Call and answer, low and near,
In the market dusk, I hold you here.
[muted guitar pluck, piano pad lingers, fade]
