Story behind the song
Recorded in a single afternoon at Tuff Gong. The vocal take you hear on the final master is the first one — we tried a few more polished versions but nothing matched the raw emotion of that first pass. Sometimes you have to trust the moment.

[Intro] Mmm... yeah... uh-huh [Verse 1] Silver moon over the harbour wall Sitting here, hearing your sweet name call You used to be the rhythm of my heart Now the riddim just fall apart [Chorus] Come back to me, sweet love, come back to me Come back to me, sweet love, can't you see Every night I'm waiting by the candlelight Hoping you'll return to me tonight [Verse 2] The sound system playing our song And I'm wondering where it all went wrong Maybe time will heal what we let break Maybe morning brings what evening takes
