Ankara Sundays Lyrics - The Lagos Music Salon - Somi

Yesterday she said her prayers and thank yous 

Morning heat crowding her room and thighs 

She could taste the salty fight begin 

Before it even started 

Yesterday the rains were heavy last night 

Woke her to attention once or twice 

But there's water for bath or tea now 

And she could smell the hunger of her sex and arms 

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm 

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm 

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm 

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Ankara Sunday 

Gonna put her lace on 

Forget about things for a while 

Ankara Sunday 

Puttin' her best face on 

Smile until the sun goes down 

Yesterday she had okada wings on 

Flying home in prayer and dust 

Saw more sadness than she should have to 

Listening for mercy along the bitter road 

Yesterday's night shadows were still hungry 

But there's no light to move the air 

She could feel the sickness moving through her 

And the mosquitoes resting on her bellow

Ankara Sunday 

Gonna put her lace on 

Forget about things for a while 

Ankara Sunday 

Puttin' her best face on 

Smile until the sun goes down 

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm 

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm 

Ankara Sunday 

Gonna put her lace on 

Forget about things for a while 

Ankara Sunday 

Puttin' her best face on 

Smile until the sun goes down 

Ankara Sunday 

Gonna put her lace on 

Forget about things for a while 

Ankara Sunday 

Puttin' her best face on 

Smile until the sun goes down 

Hopefully she'll sleep 

While generators hum one thousand lullabies 

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm 

Hopefully she'll dream 

While city lights exhale one thousand sighs 

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm 

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm 

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm 

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm 

Ankara Sunday 

Gonna put her lace on 

Forget about things for a while 

Ankara Sunday 

Puttin' her best face on 

Smile until the sun goes down
