"The Mancala Song" by Mungo
This Guitar has never been tuned
but this song has always been for you
Take four stones, pass them down
One by one you win
A new set of clothes, a room stopped in time
A little game of stones, and a coffee mug of wine
You're the one that sings the songs
You're the one that
brings down the dawn
Listen to the sounds we make
And the little stones we break
We'll pass our stones for to fill
Empty phones with a long distance bill
It's food and it's fodder,
we don't need it all
With swans on the water,
and water on your wall
It was just one moment,
mutual atonement
A new thing bent
into a candid habit
If a blind man can touch his chest and steal
a movement of love from afar
Then it's easy to sing, and it's easy to feel
when all the words rhyme with what you are
It only takes a parking lot bet
It only takes a swimming pool
It only takes a few basic frets
It takes me an you
