Cover me

Tunde Baiyewu


Ooooh! 

Cover me... 
Over with fallen leaves 
I've gone to ground 
I need you... 
Cause when I crack you cordon me... 
Off to the passers by so they can't steal... 
Their looks at the things I can't hide 

Roll over I'm not done with you 
You can stop me feeling blue 

When holding my smile 
Starts to wear me out child 
Tell me I don't have to be so brave 
When I let my shoulders fall 
And sink softly in my seat 
Shield me from my sadness and defeat 
Ooh! 

Cover me 
My eyes are broken 
They're just seeing grey 
But you bring... 
The colours of the waking day 
A lament begging you to save me 
Cover me girl so they can't break me 
Pick me up when it overtakes me 

Roll over I'm not done with you 
You can stop me feeling blue 
Can you stop me feeling blue 

When holding my smile 
Starts to wear me out, child 
Tell me I don't have to be so brave 
When I let my shoulders fall 
And sink softly in my seat 
Shield me from my sadness and defeat 
Yeah! 

Cover me... 
Over with fallen leaves 
A lament begging you to save me 
Cover me girl so they can't break me 
Pick me up when it overtakes me
