[male
vocals] (
Gentle,
weeping
electric
guitar
melody) (
Soft
percussive
pulse)
The
cold
night
wind
whispers
your
name
across
the
miles
While
I
sit
here
scrolling
through
pictures
of
your
beautiful
smiles
Esther
Mutheu,
you
are
my
compass,
my
midnight
guiding
light
The
only
dream
that
keeps
me
warm
through
this
lonely
night
Oh,
Carol
Musyoka,
my
beautiful
wife,
my
forever
choice
The
chaos
of
this
distance
fades
the
moment
I
hear
your
voice
Esther
Mutheu,
though
oceans
and
roads
keep
us
temporarily
apart
You
have
built
a
permanent
home
in
the
deepest
chambers
of
my
heart
Oh,
the
distance
is
a
shadow
but
your
love
is
the
sun
Carol,
my
darling,
you
are
the
only
one
With
our
precious
daughters,
Ndanu
and
Ashanti,
you
bloom
Lighting
up
the
corners
of
this
empty,
quiet
room
Ndanu
Muvingui,
my
little
star,
Ashanti
by
her
side
You
are
the
treasures
that
keep
my
spirit
alive
I
count
the
days
until
the
calendar
turns
its
heavy
page
I
feel
like
a
captive
bird
inside
this
longing
cage
Every
melody
I
play
carries
the
weight
of
my
sorrow
But
I
hold
onto
the
promise
of
a
brighter,
shared
tomorrow
Carol,
you
carry
the
strength
of
ten
thousand
mountain
rains
Washing
away
the
ache
and
the
pulsing
of
these
hollow
veins
I
watch
our
daughters
growing
in
the
photos
that
you
send
My
heart
is
mended
by
the
love
on
which
I
always
depend
Oh,
the
distance
is
a
shadow
but
your
love
is
the
sun
Carol,
my
darling,
you
are
the
only
one
With
our
precious
daughters,
Ndanu
and
Ashanti,
you
bloom
Lighting
up
the
corners
of
this
empty,
quiet
room
Ndanu
Muvingui,
my
little
star,
Ashanti
by
her
side
You
are
the
treasures
that
keep
my
spirit
alive
Time
moves
like
a
river,
slow
and
deep
and
wide
But
I
am
waiting
on
the
shore
with
nowhere
left
to
hide
Just
holding
onto
memories
until
the
day
we
meet
To
make
our
fractured
family
puzzle
finally
complete
Oh,
the
distance
is
a
shadow
but
your
love
is
the
sun
Carol,
my
darling,
you
are
the
only
one
With
our
precious
daughters,
Ndanu
and
Ashanti,
you
bloom
Lighting
up
the
corners
of
this
empty,
quiet
room
Ndanu
Muvingui,
my
little
star,
Ashanti
by
her
side
You
are
the
treasures
that
keep
my
spirit
alive
Esther,
Carol,
Ndanu,
Ashanti
My
heart
is
with
you,
across
the
sea
Wait
for
me,
wait
for
me (
Guitar
fades
into
the
night) (
Final
soft
percussion
hit)
