Elongo

The last of some bad debris

Falls through the coconut trees

Twilight claims me

Inching calmly

Through restaurant radios

Came a calypso

Stood with elongo

Inside a shadow

Elongo, how long though

from here to San Pedro

we draw lines in the sand

Elongo, how long though

Until we will get back home

The sun is setting low

Will youth come and go

Singing the songs they know

Like Mother Teresa

And Vishnu Siddhartha

And you fly paper planes

A cow wake is where they lay

The roots of your family

The guns of your history

Eloongo, how longo

From here to san pedro

We draw lines in the sand

Elongo, how long though

Until we will get back home

The sun is setting low

Is it sailing away

Or am I waiting in vain?

Do you break all your chains

For it to all wash away

Elongo, how longo

From here to San Pedro

We draw maps in the sand

Elongo, how long though

Until we will get back home

The sun is setting low

Elongo, how longo

From here to San Pedro

Elongo, how longo

From here to San Pedro

We draw lines in the sands

We draw lines in the sands
