Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We gonna lay it on
Bright and early cause the heat is on
And I know that you are ready
Let us lay it on

Now that we are moving in the groove
And mi seh, hush darling
Even if it hurts to cry

Hush darling
'Cause I'm a gonna tell you why
'Cause after a storm

There must be a calm
And I will keep you warm
Darling, um, darling

We gonna lay it on
Bright and early cause the heat is on
And I know that you are ready

Let us lay it on
Now that we are groovin' in the groove
Hush darling, even if it hurts to cry

Hush darling
'Cause I'm a gonna tell you why
'Cause after a storm

There must be a calm
And I will keep you warm
Hush darling
Wait a little longer

Hush darling
'Cause love is getting stronger
'Cause after a storm





There must be a calm
And I will keep you warm

This man's contribution to reggae history is incredible. He is obviously known for his lovers, at which he was undoubtedly a master but he did his share of roots and culture, a true master of his art. A shame he went down a certain path in life but I'll never forget seeing him live, and I'll play his music till I pass.
