Saaxiib Qurux Badan

Everywhere that you are
I can feel all around, feel your heart beat
Every heart has a sound
And the way that yours speaks
It echoes back to me

I know I’m in too deep
When your love washes over me
Don’t know where it may lead
But I’ll go where it’s taking me
So, slowly as we walk away
I will hold onto every word you say

– From “Every Word You Say”
by J. Hallawell, J. Williams and C. Costi
(from Petula Clark’s 2014 album,
Lost In You)
