The city is crowded, my friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle, so I got to get up and go
80s

Cruel summer, bananaramanana

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
80s

Toto, Africa

I hear your name whispered on the wind
It's a sound that makes me cry
I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind and I don't know why
80s
(Love this one ❤️)

One more folks

I was writing to tell you
That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook
That rings your goodbye
80s

Next

With the way that you left me
I can hardly contain
The hurt and the anger
And the joy of the pain
Now knowing I am single
They'll be fire in my eyes
