Dusty Kampala

Lyrics

Verse 1
You came in loud
With that brown-bag grin
Dust on your shoes
And trouble on your skin

You said, “Come close”
By the mango tree
I saw your smile
And it caught me easy

Pre-Chorus
Now my chest goes
Boom-boom, boom-boom
When you move like that
I lose my room

Say my name slow
One more time
I’m already gone
By your line

Chorus
Hold me close, baby
Hold me close
Hold me close, baby
That’s all I know

Shine on me
Shine on me
Hold me close, baby
That’s all I need

Verse 2
Barefoot steps on
The red-earth road
Your laugh hit hard
And it bent my soul

You took my hand
At the corner stall
Sweet plantain smoke
And the drumroll call

Pre-Chorus
Now my chest goes
Boom-boom, boom-boom
When you move like that
I lose my room

Say my name slow
One more time
I’m already gone
By your line

Chorus
Hold me close, baby
Hold me close
Hold me close, baby
That’s all I know

Shine on me
Shine on me
Hold me close, baby
That’s all I need

Bridge
Oya, come nearer
Don’t let go now
My heart’s been waiting
All night somehow

One touch, one fire
One sweet sound
Turn me around
Turn me around

Chorus
Hold me close, baby
Hold me close
Hold me close, baby
That’s all I know

Shine on me
Shine on me
Hold me close, baby
That’s all I need
