Lyrics by Han Baosan
Arranged by Han Baosan
Frayed bandana on the wall
Your guitar string snapped in fall
We carved our names in the mango bark
I reach for you but you're not more
Than a ghost in the stereo's hum
Every chord's a numb dumb sum
Coconut shell cup half-filled
With the tea you forgot to spill
Wind whips the porch screen raw
Wind whips the porch screen raw
Every wave hums your old drawl
I count the steps to the shore
I count the steps to the shore
Waiting for a door that won't open no more
Reggae wind carry my sigh
Reggae wind carry my sigh
She's gone gone out of my life
Reggae wind soft and low
She's gone gone out of my life
Reggae wind soft and low
Why'd you take the light I know
Reggae wind soft and low
Why'd you take the light I know
Frayed bandana on the wall
Worn-out cassettes by the bed
Your reggae mix still plays dead
Coconut shell cup half-filled
Reggae wind soft and low
Why'd you take the light I know
Oh reggae wind won't you hear my cry
Now the rain washes them dark
Tide pulls the night to shore
I reach for you but you're not more
Reggae wind carry my sigh
She's gone gone out of my life
Reggae wind soft and low
Reggae wind soft and low
Why'd you take the light I know
Empty bottle on the step
Why'd you take the light I know
Empty bottle on the step
Clock ticks slow no regret
Clock ticks slow no regret
Just the echo of your feet
Fading where the sea meets the street
Fading where the sea meets the street
Reggae wind carry my sigh
She's gone gone out of my life
Reggae wind carry my sigh
She's gone gone out of my life
Reggae wind soft and low
