He shadowed
her around the house
Suspicious
if she fed a mouse
She'd stopped
him from keeping his spear
Not at home
or anywhere near
She stayed
young, he grew older
And the gap
between them bolder
And she
started to miss her husband
The one that
they had cruelly canned
As she
cooked he’d sit behind her
While she
fanned the fire in a blur
His memories
would come a-floodin’
And he’d
sing his fears a-sudden
Adwoa, I’m frightened
by your fanning
Eno Adwoa,
what are you planning?
Is there a
spear out there tonight?
Eno, will I
live to see the light?
This is the part where one of the kids brings up a song.
