Kele Okereke - Yemaya lyrics

[Verse 1] In a dream, I hear her laughter Like waves upon the shore It pulls me further out than I should go Underneath the asphalt stirring Bloodstream of the earth Break your holy waters over us [Chorus] Oh Yemaya, I’m clear Oh Yemaya, I’m listening Oh Yemaya, I’m clear Oh Yemaya, I’m listening [Verse 2] It starts first at the centre flowing It knows just where to go Like the newborn swimming in a stream Through the rusted pipelines sprawling Sunken concrete ruin Where the delta meets the ocean floor [Chorus] Oh Yemaya, I’m clear Oh Yemaya, I’m listening to you Oh Yemaya, I’m clear Oh Yemaya, I’m listening to you, ooh
