Colosseums and pyramids,
Stands as footprints of man
I was here, we were here
Like graffiti written on college walls
Yea, back in the day, them days
I was here, and made my stand
Everything else is silent now
The choir is without voice now
Old tales, sits in archived memories
Like a genie in a bottle
I wrote a love letter and placed it in a bottle
I sent it to sea, and wished you did find it
This is my graffiti on the land scape
A half broken wall and an old window frame
Yet through the window, blue skies and landscapes
The world can be seen of romance
Hope you find this place, my little paradise
And read my inscriptions, graffiti on walls
I was here, we were here, full circle
Adwoa and Kodjo with love
This is my graffiti on nature
My genie in a bottle, I left a bottle at sea
Hope you; seeker of my heart, finds it and let it out
I found a spot for you and I, where I first laid eyes on you
Stands as footprints of man
I was here, we were here
Like graffiti written on college walls
Yea, back in the day, them days
I was here, and made my stand
Everything else is silent now
The choir is without voice now
Old tales, sits in archived memories
Like a genie in a bottle
I wrote a love letter and placed it in a bottle
I sent it to sea, and wished you did find it
This is my graffiti on the land scape
A half broken wall and an old window frame
Yet through the window, blue skies and landscapes
The world can be seen of romance
Hope you find this place, my little paradise
And read my inscriptions, graffiti on walls
I was here, we were here, full circle
Adwoa and Kodjo with love
This is my graffiti on nature
My genie in a bottle, I left a bottle at sea
Hope you; seeker of my heart, finds it and let it out
I found a spot for you and I, where I first laid eyes on you

ReplyDeleteLove how you begin referring to the Colosseum... one the most recognizable, preserved remains of history. The personalization of "Adwoa and Kodjo with love" was very touching. "Like graffiti written on college walls..." Brought me back to the university with that one.
