What a Life by Rachel Chinouriri

 Wago! Wago! - Mpho Maputle 


Golden sunset on the hillside

Big dog, little string

I'm peeling onions in the kitchen

You're in the garden raking leaves

When you hold me in the moonlight

Well, that's a future I can see

I started believing that it could be

Something more than just a dream


What a life, what a life

You're the only I need beneath my feet

What a life, what a life

You're the only place I never wanna leave


Wherever you go is wherever I'll be 


You're the blue bells in the meadow 

You're the sunlight on the leaves 

I'm the rosé, you're my rainfall 

When the only roots fly, let them be 


Healthy breakfast on the table

Too good's it's all for see

You're rushing down the stairs because you're looking for your key

I daydream out the window

Close dancing in the breeze

You've come to say goodbye, I kiss the toothpaste off your cheeck

When life is a conundrum

It can feel so incomplete

But with you it's a wonder, all the wonder and the peace


Little house by the water

Little house by the creek

Is this something I can ask for?

Is this something I'll achieve?
