Lyrics:
I spend most of my time Trying to work out
What I’m going to say
For example: today
I did not leave the house,
And I wrote to people
Far away,
Hours away

Don’t sail away
In your mind
Have you always been like this?
Conspiring with lightning
Don’t fade away
You’re on the brink of something great

I spend much of the night
Trying to take back
All the time that it took;
In a borrowed book
I write things in the margins
That you would understand If you looked.
But why would you look?

I take the white shadow from you I give you what I can give you
I curse the burden within you
But I can’t take it away
Broken glass in the river
Reflects a crumbling pillar
Break the branch that is withered
And carve it into something
Turn the wheel of tomorrow
As you lie dreaming in the grass
Decant all of your sorrow
Into a clearer glass

Endless soul
Unbending light
Already whole
Always right

White Shadow
Don’t sail away
In your mind
Have you always been like this?
Conspiring with lightning
Don’t fade away
You’re on the brink of something great

In Los Angeles
In the Pyrenées
In the Andes
And in the Himalayas
In the Cederberg
There’s a weaver bird
There’s a pigeon on a building
In Johannesburg

Absolute tears in my eyes whenever I listen to this song. Amazing amazing songwriting

[lancefield]

Oh my goodness, how beautiful is this song? I don't understand all of the words but I am still moved by them. As I am moved by the simple unpretentious video. And those harmonies at 2:48 are enough to make this grown man cry.

[LinakoNgcobo]

Planning to have a tattoo saying “ubomi abumanga” that song is such a beauty and will always love Msaki for it❤️
