lyrics

At Asafo market, I bought plantain and soap

Your last blue message sat there, small on my phone

I waited by the chop bar with your name in my coat

By the time the rain came hard, I knew I was alone

No missed ring, no excuse, just the fan on the wall

The kettle went cold on the sill by the hall

I watched the clock move slow, then I watched it fall

And your silence sat steady through it all

You let it fade, you let it fade

You let it fade, you let it fade

No call came through, no word was made

You let it fade, you let it fade

I passed by Adum in my work shirt and dust

Saw your cloth in a kiosk, folded and rough

The lady gave change, and she asked if I’d rush

I said, “Leave it,” then I held that cup too long in my hand

No missed ring, no excuse, just the fan on the wall

The kettle went cold on the sill by the hall

I watched the clock move slow, then I watched it fall

And your silence sat steady through it all

You let it fade, you let it fade

You let it fade, you let it fade

No call came through, no word was made

You let it fade, you let it fade

In the trotro seat, I folded your scarf

Kumasi road red on my shoes in the dark

I did not shout, I did not break glass

I just traced your last number and let it pass

You let it fade, you let it fade

You let it fade, you let it fade

No call came through, no word was made

You let it fade, you let it fade
