lyrics

You jumped off at Ngara, noon heat on your skin

My bus rolled past you, then I saw you grin

Sukari bag swinging, you waited by the gate

You said you’d walk my road, even late by the stage

Dust on your sandals, rain cloud in the sky

You matched my slow steps, didn’t ask me why

Boda lights flashed once, then slipped away

You chose my side street, so I chose to stay

Four stops early, four stops early

Four stops early, four stops early

Walk with me now, walk with me now

Four stops early, four stops early

Kariokor market, tomatoes in a crate

Your hand found mine near the blue iron gate

I had chai in a cup, you had salt on your shirt

We crossed the broken curb, heel prints in the dirt

Four stops early, four stops early

Four stops early, four stops early

Walk with me now, walk with me now

Four stops early, four stops early

When the conductor shouted, you didn’t move

You let that bus go, kept the same groove

Past the mabati fence, past the mango tree

You gave me your time, then you gave me me

Four stops early, four stops early

Four stops early, four stops early

Walk with me now, walk with me now

Four stops early, four stops early
