Lyrics

Dream of a land my soul is from I hear a hand stroke on a drum Shades of delight cocoa hue Rich as the night, afro blue Elegant boy, beautiful girl Dancing for joy, delicate whirl Shades of delight cocoa hue Rich as the night, afro blue Two lovers dance face to face with undulating grace They gently sway then slip away to some secluded place Shades of delight cocoa hue Rich as the night, afro blue Yo, you came to me as my blessing I'm trying to accept it and not question The whys and the hows without ob-sessing It's a lot to think about, I'm still processing Tears of joy in the morning made our pillow wet Then night fell and we turned into silhouettes Your body next to mine dancing real close Step left, step right, then a pirouette It would appear as that we really do believe in us But it's so hard to believe all we need is us Believe a kiss on a cold day could be enough Look at the stars and wonder what it is they see in us Where is this leading us? That's all I'm asking Love comes in every color, but the fact is I never needed Fifty Shades of Grey Just turn the lights down low and give me every shade of blackness, uh Two lovers dance face to face with undulating grace They gently sway then slip away to some secluded place Shades of delight cocoa hue Rich as the night afro blue Afro Blue
