Eric Wainaina – Too Far From Home Lyrics

Verse 1

When I lie right next to you
Under this silver moon
I’m as close to heaven
As my sinner soul will go

But you are sweet poison
With an angel voice
You sing me to sleep
While you make my bed in hell

Chorus

Now I know
You’re no good for me baby
You’re my fork in the desert road
But I know
There’s no turning around
I’m too far from home

Verse 2

Hata vile nilikuwa mchaji Mungu
*Though God has heard me in the past

Sina sali litakayoweza kuniokoa
There is no prayer that can save me now

Upendo wako ni mfoko
Your love is a flood

Umenifanya nizame
That has drowned me

Umenibeba
You have carried me away and I am floating out of control

Niongoze nikufuate
Lead me. I have no choice but to follow.

Chorus

Still I know
You’re no good for me baby
You’re my fork in the desert road
But I know
There’s no turning around
I’m too far from home
