Durban to the Moon

From
Durban
I'll love you loud from the taxi roof
From the hills to the blue lagoon
My heart keeps walking to you

I saved small money in a biscuit tin
Not for showing off, just to take you in
One blue dress, one clean white shirt
One old guitar making gold from dirt
The sea behind me and the road ahead
Your name the compass in my head
You don't need a tower for my heart to see
You just need truth when you stand with me

If your road is honest and your hands are kind

From Durban to the moon, I love you loud from the taxi roof
From the hills to the blue lagoon
My heart keeps walking to you

To the moon — weh
To the moon — yebo
No big city can outshine this room
From Durban to the moon
To the moon — weh

The night bus hums a patient tune
Seats of dreamers, each one soon
I press your photo to the glass
Watch the sleeping stations pass
Taxi rank roses and a roadside meal
That's where I learned what forever feels

... my mother's first ...
She saved for a wedding that never came

She pressed it in my hands at the gate and said: Fill it my child and go and use my name

From Durban to the moon, I love you loud from the taxi roof
From the hills to the blue lagoon
My heart keeps walking to you
She saved for a wedding that never came
She pressed it in my hands at the gate and said
Fill it my child and go and use my name
From Durban to the moon, I love you loud from the taxi roof
From the hills to the blue lagoon
My heart keeps walking to the moon, I love you loud from

The taxi roof
From the hills to the blue lagoon
My heart keeps walking to you
I'll love you loud from the taxi roof
From the hills to the blue lagoon
My heart keeps walking to you
I love you loud from the taxi roof
From the hills to the blue lagoon
My heart keeps walking to you

Durban to the moon
Moon! (Durban to the moon)
