Sea Grape Vine

[Verse 1]
Streetlight spill gold on the dew-soaked breadfruit leaf,
Mi count the moon's climb, steady, slow, like patience building belief.
The sea breeze whisper through the zinc roof, a sound mi know too well,
Carries the scent of pimento trees, a promise mi can't dispel.
My mind a run wild, tracing every memory's sweet incline,
Till yuh step off that journey, like a true sea grape vine.

[Chorus]
Soon as you touch this Portie ground, mi roots gon' reach out, strong and deep.
Every word mi never said, in your silence, mi will keep.
Oh, Sea Grape Vine, growin' wild through the years,
Wash away the salty distance, and all mi quiet tears.

[Verse 2]
From Annotto Bay to Frenchman's Cove, the miles stretch long and far,
But mi heart already knew the path, guided by your shining star.
Mi iron gate swing open wide, just like mi spirit free,
Anticipate the gentle rain, how it always come to me.
No rush, no frantic energy, just the comfort of your gaze,
Like sunlight through the mango leaves, in these blessed Port Antonio days.

[Bridge]
The old men seh true love like lignum vitae, hard to cut, harder to break,
It dig down deep for water, for our future's sacred sake.
No transient bloom, just a sturdy shade, where generations can lean,
That quiet strength, mi find in you, my evergreen, my queen.

[Outro]
Yeah, the silence whisper low, soon yuh here, right next to me.
Mi Sea Grape Vine, rooted strong, for all eternity.
