about

This song comes from psychedelic dream state tour of Africa that we never actually took.

lyrics

Mozambique

I close my eyes.
The plane starts to roll.
And soon we’re flying high
To the other side of Africa.

We said good-bye
To winter’s cold
I’m traveling light
Just a passport and a laugh on board. .

I dream a dream
About when I was young
And the world was soft
In a way that I could understand.

Hours go by.
The movie’s done.
The flight attendant tells me
We’re about to land.

Cho:
When we get to Mozambique
We’ll sing as long as we can speak
Dance until our feet get weak
From those island grooves

Far away in Mozambique
We’ll Marrabente cheek to cheek
Drink enough to last a week
And no one disapproves.



Once we get our bags released
We suddenly speak Portugese
And home-made music ‘s in the breeze
It’s heaven, so to speak

I might fall upon my knees
And truly feel my soul at peace
There’s nothing here I must achieve
Here in Mozambique.
