Meklit Hadero Float And Fall Lyrics

Well the sound of your step

Reminded me of the snow

That winter before I left for good

And the knock that you knocked

Had an accidental rhythm

You asked me for tea

And I knew you liked it sweet

I remember, with two sugars

I am happy to see you again

The wrinkles when you smile

Are like rings upon a tree

You reminded me of plane rides baby

Of take-offs and landings

And watching the earth from the sky

Well a moment of dark, a moment of light

The memories dance so strange and slow

A moment of darkness and of light

I alight, you alight We drift and we float and we fall

In the hour before the evening arrives

And the air smells suddenly of the rain

I wait on the step

On the stoop of your house

The house that you grew up in

And the air and the air

Turns suddenly cold

And the sky prepares itself for night

I know every person who passes me by

Their history is also mine

Well a moment of dark, a moment of light

The memories dance so strange and slow

A moment of darkness and of light

I alight, you alight

We drift and we float and we fall
