Tribal Seeds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh girl, your love draws I in so close
Island girl, love you more than you know
No my love can't be bought nor sold
Under the moon-lit night, the stars so bright
Laying with you, waiting for the morning light
Just to rise up, like the sun rise
Oh girl, love you more than you know
Oh girl, your love draws I in so close
Island girl, love you more than you know
No my love can't be bought nor sold
Easy is the stream of the water
Easy is the mood of I love towards you
Pleasing when we're chilling in the nature
Take a ride in the ocean
Oh I say whoa, see it in her
Eye say whoa
Oh girl, love you more than you know
Oh girl, your love draws I in so close
Island girl, love you more than you know
No my love can't be bought nor sold
Oh girl, love you more than you know
Oh girl, your love draws I in so close
Island girl, love you more than you know
No my love can't be bought nor sold, nor sold
