lyrics

Taxi rank mud on my sneakers

Randburg wind biting my skin

One torn bill in my pocket

And your last text still burning in

The bottle cap rolls by the gutter

My jaw still aches from the blow

Past the spaza with the blue crate

I keep my head down low

Seven past one on the corner

I hear my keys hit the gate

Mama’s TV through the curtain

I move slow, I’m late

Walk me home, walk me home

Walk me home, walk me home

Walk me home, walk me home

Walk me home, walk me home

JHB dust on my collar

Broken heel near the curb

Two cops lean by the takeaway

I pass quiet, say no word

At the flat, the kettle’s cold now

My shirt got a red-brown stain

I wash my face in the basin

But I still taste the rain

Walk me home, walk me home

Walk me home, walk me home

Walk me home, walk me home

Walk me home, walk me home

Lock clicks soft in the hallway

Socks on the tile, no sound

I sit by the fridge with the door shut

Till my breathing comes back down

Walk me home, walk me home

Walk me home, walk me home

Walk me home, walk me home

Walk me home, walk me home
