Foreign melodies

Otniel Awaseb 1996 (Swakopmund)



Letting your guard down
Is not letting your God down
And listening to your mind is not letting your  heart down

They always argue about everything
But they both like you
And the both hate to see you leave
Because they both love you

Like a short and sweet story about endless love
There's alot to say about you
And the voices in my head has been singing the same name in perfect harmonies
I keep on seeing our future in past memories
And when you call my name
Like a whisper from a soft angelic voice
I hear foriegn melodies
I love it but I just dont understand why.
