Africville

Life broke in Africville
All the mothers took their children out and so far away
Down by the boats and they said don't leave
Don't leave me alone
Young lovers walk hand in hand
Beach and the boardwalk, all through the sand
And they said do you love me?
And they said I will sweet love
And love deeply please
Iron blood carries love
And rages like a storm
And picks you up
Without any warning
It meant nothing to you then
It means nothing to you now
If you're leaving
Oh, don't you dare leave me now
Here in Africville
Letters came and letters received
And they said do you love me?
Oh, I love you so very much
So very deeply indeed
All young lovers walk hand in hand
To the beach and the boardwalk, off in the sand
And they said oh, I need you like
I need you like I need rain
Iron blood carries love
And rages like a storm
And picks you up
Without any warning
It meant nothing to you then
It means nothing to you now
Don't you dare leave me
Don't you dare leave me now
Don't leave me now
