Lyric

Addis at Dusk (feat. Yewande)

Valerie Enfield

Night falls over Addis lights

Dust in the amber glow

Footsteps echo slow and low

Where did the old days go

Tizita, call my name

Soft as a distant horn

Tizita, burn the same

From dusk until the dawn

The city breathes in minor lines

A vibraphone in blue

Shadows lean on broken time

I’m still looking for you

Round and round the bassline turns

No need to change the key

Every silence softly burns

In this memory

Tizita, hold me near

Under the muted sky

Tizita, crystal clear

We never say goodbye

Oh— ya lemiwedish

Oh— ya lelibe

Slow river, don’t forget

What you remember in me

Night falls over Addis lights

Dust in the amber glow

Same four notes, the same old night

And still the feeling
