Lyrics
The concrete sweat a winter grey
But mi skin still feel the Boston Bay
Them ask how mi smile so wide and free
When the sun 'fraid fi show him face to me
Is a secret dat mi carry deep
A promise dat the heart can keep
[Chorus]
Yuh love is the pimento in the rain
Yuh breath is the Blue Mountain steam
Grow a garden inna dis foreign terrain
Plant a root fi hold mi wildest dream
[Verse 2]
Mi hear yuh voice inna the subway roar
A likkle whisper from a distant shore
Like the peenie wallie dem a dance at night
Yuh turn the dim streetlamp to pure sunlight
This nourishment, it run so true
Every blossom here, it belong to you
[Chorus]
Yuh love is the pimento in the rain
Yuh breath is the Blue Mountain steam
Grow a garden inna dis foreign terrain
Plant a root fi hold mi wildest dream
[Bridge]
So let the north wind whistle and complain
Dis Portland Parish heart nah feel nuh strain
[Outro]
My pimento...
My steam...
