Davina

*(Verse 1)* I fly like a bird in a kingdom of blue No wings on my shoulders, but the ocean pulls me through Morning sun is dancing where the coral gardens grow Every little polyp wears a golden halo glow The light kiss every angelfish, every silver ray Every tiny crustacean starting up another day And I drift among my brothers, scales and fins and foam Down beneath the water where my wandering heart feels home *(Chorus)* Oh Davina, I still hear your name Through the shafts of sunlight dancing in the waves Oh Davina, every current knows Love don't disappear, it only changes roads Sunlight on the reef now Golden through the blue now Grouper by my side now Following me home now --- *(Verse 2)* The grouper swims beside me like an old familiar friend Never says a single word but he understand He follows through the coral, through the canyons and the sand Like he knows I'm searching for the touch of your hand I watched the Big C steal the colors from your face And every day I begged Jah to let me take your place But Jah showed mercy softly when your weary body failed And carried you to heaven on a warm Caribbean gale Now beneath the water I can almost feel you near In every beam of sunlight and every bubble in my ear *(Chorus)* Oh Davina, I still hear your name Through the shafts of sunlight dancing in the waves Oh Davina, every current knows Love don't disappear, it only changes roads Sunlight on the reef now Golden through the blue now Grouper by my side now Following me home now --- *(Verse 3)* My flip-flops on the shoreline where the gentle breakers sigh Your photograph inside them and a tear within my eye I kissed your smiling picture as I stepped into the sea And the waves began to whisper, "Come and walk with me" The water growing darker but it never felt like fear Somewhere in the distance I could swear your voice was near Calling through the silence, calling through the deep Promising the lonely that love never falls asleep --- *(Bridge Choir)* Davina... Davina... Sunlight through the water Sunlight through the years Love is still a river Flowing through my tears Davina... Davina... Hold me in the blue now Hold me in the tide Till the sea and sky become One eternal light --- *(Verse 4)* I go deeper than the reef line where the daylight starts to fade Where the ocean keeps her secrets in a silent blue parade The pressure wraps around me but it don't feel cold somehow It feels like loving arms that gently hold me now My heartbeat keeps the rhythm of a slow and steady drum Like reggae from creation when the world was still young And every fish around me seems to gather for goodbye As if all living creatures know the hour is drawing nigh --- *(Final Chorus)* Baro... baro trauma now I thought you would be cruel somehow Baro... baro trauma now You feel like a lover's embrace somehow Baro... baro trauma now The darkness feels so warm somehow Baro... baro trauma now I hear my Davina calling now Baro... baro trauma now My heart beat slowing softer now Baro... baro trauma now The rhythm fading gently now --- *(Outro)* The grouper circles once more Then disappears from sight The ocean folds around me Like velvet in the night I feel Davina's fingers Slip softly into mine And for the first time since she left Half a soul becomes whole again No cold... No fear... Only love... Only light...
