Stay For Morning

Stay for morning
Stay for morning
Mosquito coil don burn halfway
Burn halfway
Your wrapper dey my balcony chair
Balcony chair
Stay for morning, make day meet us

Two glasses of zobo on the railing
The ice don turn to ordinary water
Your laugh dey soft now, half asleep
The estate gen don finally rest
You talk about your father small
I no push, I just dey listen
The night dey stretch like e get time
For people wey no wan count am

No call the taxi yet
The road no dey run
No call the taxi yet
The road no dey run

Stay for morning
Stay for morning
Mosquito coil don burn halfway
Burn halfway
Your wrapper dey my balcony chair
Balcony chair
Stay for morning, make day meet us

Mmm, mmm
Make day meet us
Mmm, mmm
Make day meet us

You borrow my toothbrush cup for water
You rinse the zobo glass yourself
Small domestic things wey feel
Like furniture for future house
The coil smoke draw one slow circle
Your eyes dey close, dey open, dey close
I move the chair make the sun
No go find your face too early

Coil don finish, one grey worm of ash
The zobo glass dey dry upside down
Your wrapper cover your knees
First bird dey test the morning
You reach my cup, drink from am

Stay for morning
Stay for morning
Mosquito coil don burn halfway
Burn halfway
Your wrapper dey my balcony chair
Balcony chair
Stay for morning, make day meet us
Make day meet us

Grey ash circle
Stay for morning
