No Score To Keep

[Verse 1]
Rain wash the dust from the mango leaf
Same way your memory still bring relief
Saw you cross the road by the patty shop
Heart never flutter, but the world did stop
For a little second, time stand still
On this green and quiet Port Antonio hill.

[Chorus]
We nuh keep score, no we nuh keep score
Some roots run too deep fi pull up from the floor
Even when the blossom don't come back no more.

[Verse 2]
Mi remember how yuh buss a laugh, head back to the sky
Like a frigatebird learning how fi fly
Before the weather turn and the ground get hard
We was a unopened ackee in the same front yard
Some fruit nuh ripe, but the tree stand strong
Mi know yuh feel it too, it could never be wrong.

[Chorus]
We nuh keep score, no we nuh keep score
Some roots run too deep fi pull up from the floor
Even when the blossom don't come back no more.

[Bridge]
Nuh need fi talk, nuh need fi even smile
Just feel the ground under us tremble for a little while.

[Outro]
Yeah... some roots run deep.
