INTRO...
May May May Iré x 4
Drop it to the sound!
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Only your love can turn mi round, Bring it to the ground
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Night is gone but the day seems far away, I feel you all around
Way up! Come Down!
VERSE 1:
Like a king to a throne
Every thought can be known
This life is my own, this ship can be flown
And this space can be known
In this space you alone
You and me together this love can be grown long time mi a know
These seeds we have sewn
Black seeds we have thrown
This knife can be honed, this day will be known
That crown is your own
In your heart you have known
Feel you all around when the waves come crashing down
Shake it to the sound
CHORUS:
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Only your love can turn mi round, Bring it to the ground
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Night is gone but the day seems far away, I feel you all around
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Only your love can turn mi round, Bring it back around
VERSE 2:
You are silver and gold
What a sight to behold
Press tight to me now this night can be cold
From the stars we were born
Like stars we have grown
Listen to me well, this prayer can be shown, this wish will be known
That dream is your own
These dreams we’ve been shown
One touch from your hand this house will be known
That place is your home
From the start you have known
Feel you all around when the waves come crashing down
Drop it to the sound
CHORUS:
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Only your love can turn mi round, Bring it to the ground
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Night is gone but the day seems far away, I feel you all around
Umbo, Come down! Come down, Come down
Only your love can turn mi round, Bring it back around
Way up! Come Down!

CHORUS
Yari Gemini
Eres mia esas la que hay
It’s been you and I
We are gods and immortals don’t die
Side by side we lie
You come with me like the night sky
On and on we fly
It’s a shame they may never know why
I’m gone they in back of me…. Stay in back of me
Verse:
I’ve never known you to cry
Never is a very long time. Some days feel impossible
Your day will come in time
From the grave it’s a very long climb. No man is an obstacle
If you believe in love let peace be upon you
Forgive my malevolence
Forgive yourself in time
To the grave it’s a very long climb
I fell, you came back for me
When I ran, you ran after me, you lit my path for me
Gemini x3
CHORUS
Yari Gemini
Eres mia esas la que hay
