behind the curtain

Singer:ibeyi

where are you now? my man

my suitor

out of my life for good

have you gone behind the curtain?

be i so far

or very near

my baby just have no fear

leaving me uncertain

i am here

where are you now? my man

my father

far from my life for good

or in your ivory tower

have you gone behind the curtain?

be i so far

or very near

my baby just have no fear

leaving me uncertain

i am here

we know to our fright

and delight

that the stars will still shine in the night

that's how you'll last for me all night

forever in shadows

yet bright

dear audience

sweet spectator

we're together for good

or til i lose favour

have you gone behind the curtain?

be i so far

or very near

my baby just have no fear

leaving me uncertain

i am here

have you gone behind the curtain?

we are so far

oh very near

my baby just have no fear

i am here

ago inle ago

ago inle ago

ago inle ago ya

ago inle ago ya

ago moyuba lorisha moyuba o moyuba lorisha

ago moyuba lorisha moyuba o moyuba lorisha
