Lyrics

KJ's in the market buying Mumus For the girls back home the boys yell "Brambo!" And say "As-salamu alaykum" Up on the roof drinking dawas Where the tourists flock, they're popping their collars And talk of their travels over the soft rock Maybe in another life Maybe in another life I was your lover Maybe in another life Scaffolding invades the cathedral Shackles and a hole in the yard, the post at the altar Calls from the tree where they buried his heart Lost in the maze of doorways And coral red, the flag of the slave trade Lessons behind the glass Maybe in another life Maybe in another life We can start over Maybe we'll get it right Maybe in another life Maybe in another life We'll know forgiveness Maybe in another life Down a long and lonely cove She goes wading Out there as the tide is low I'm contemplating This gift of failure and the truth Of the feeling in my bones Back in the market buying Mumus We'll be leaving soon The smell of cinnamon Follows us back into our room Dusk falls over the island Saltwater in her hair My love is shimmering Pretty as a call to prayer Maybe in another life Maybe in another life I was your lover Maybe I was your wife Maybe in another life Maybe in another life We can start over Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe in another life We can start over
