Africville Lyrics - Craig Cardiff

light broke in africville 

all the mothers took their children out so far away, 

down by the boats where you said I need you the most 

and young lovers walk hand in hand 

the beaches boardwalk oceans and sand and she says 

'do you love?' and he says 'yes i love' indeed 

blood carries love rages like a storm 

holds you, throws you without warning 

it meant nothing to you then, 

it means nothing to you now 

if you're leaving, don't you dare leave me now, 

in africville. 

Young lovers walk hand in hand 

Beach and the boardwalk and ocean sand 

They say 'do you love' and they say 'yes I love' indeed 

Letters sent, letters received 

One for you and one for me 

That said 'do you love' and I said 'yes I love' indeed 

blood carries love rages like a storm 

and it leads you out in life without any warning 

it meant nothing to you then, 

it means nothing to you now 

if you're leaving, don't you dare leave me now, 

in africville.
