Lyrics: Robert Lancaster/Dannrie Brown
Music: Let Babylon Burn
Did I let yuh down, did I bring yuh pain?
Should I carry guilt or let the silence reign?
'Cause I saw the storm 'fore the skies went grey
Yes, I knew you'd stumble, and I walked away
So I took what's mine by the stars above
Took your soul into the night with love
It might be done but it don’t end there
I’m still right here, if yuh ever care
[Verse 2]
You touched mi heart, yuh touched mi soul
You changed mi path, made mi spirit whole
And love stay blind, seen dat from start
When I gave yuh mi blinded heart
I kissed yuh lips, I held yuh face
Shared yuh bed, mi sacred place
I know yuh laugh, I know yuh sigh
I been hooked, and I won’t lie
[Chorus]
Goodbye, mi lover
Goodbye, mi friend
You were di one
You were di one 'til di end
Goodbye, mi lover
Goodbye, mi friend
You were di one
You were di one I defend
[Verse 3]
I’m a dreamer, and when I rise
You can’t steal mi soul or cloud mi skies
So if yuh leave, just know mi name
And all we were, still burns the flame
I seen yuh cry, I seen yuh grin
Watched you sleep, let the night begin
I’d raise your child, I’d walk dat road
I'd hold yuh hand ‘til we grow old
[Bridge]
I know yuh fears, and yuh know mine
We had dem storms but we did fine
And I love yuh, Jah know it’s true
I can't find breath if I lose you
[Chorus]
Goodbye, mi lover
Goodbye, mi friend
You were di one
You were di light in the end
Goodbye, mi lover
Goodbye, mi friend
You were di one
You were mi roots, mi zen
[Outro]
Still hold yuh hand in dreams I keep
Still whisper prayers when I can’t sleep
One day I’ll speak mi soul out loud
When mi knees fall low to di sacred ground
I’m so hollow baby
So hollow, so hollow
Mi heart echo, echo
In the hollow
