lyrics

(month two)

Month one he played it loud and played it wrong
And I said nothing, which took forty years to learn
Month two he came into the room and sat
And asked me one small question about the fifth string

Month two, month two (month two)
He asked in month two, month two
One question, month two
Month two

Month two, month two, month two, month two
You cannot tell a boy, you wait, month two
Month two, month two, month two, month two
My father waited a whole year for me

(solo palm wine guitar, 8 bars)
I thought he did not care. For a year I thought that.
He was waiting. Now I am waiting. It is the hardest work.
Slow money. Slow everything. He was right about all of it.
(HORNS RETURN, WARM)

Month two, month two, month two, month two
You cannot tell a boy, you wait, month two
Month two, month two, month two, month two
My father waited a whole year for me

(month two...)
