Superlover Lyrics[Verse 1: Annie Lennox]
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Palestine, Israel to Tennessee
We need a superlove
Need a superlover
Double dutch and hula hoops
All our fears in loops and loops
We need a superlove
Need a superlover
[Chorus: Annie Lennox & Allison Russell]
The night so cold
Who among us dreams the dawn?
Who dreamt us and oh, where have they gone?
Who keeps a candle lit for their return?
Who could count the flowers in your hearts?
[Verse 2: Allison Russell]
"Please let me die beforе my child"
Prayed every mothеr far and wide, yeah
That's a superlove
I'm a superlover
You can feel it near and far
It fades the moon and blinds the stars, yes
That's a superlove
We are superlovers
[Chorus: Annie Lennox & Allison Russell]
The night so cold (Ooh, the night so cold)
Who among us dreams the dawn? (Who among us dreams the dawn?)
Who dreamt us and oh, where have they gone?
Who keeps a candle lit for their return? (Who keeps a candle lit for their return?)
Who could count the flowers in your hearts?
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Annie Lennox, Allison Russell]
Believe what you will
Believe they're gonna tell you it's naive
To be a superlover
But we are superlovers
There's no God of fire and blood
If there's a God, then God is Love
We need a superlove
We can be superlovers, oh
[Chorus: Annie Lennox & Allison Russell]
The night so cold (So cold)
Who among us dreams the dawn? (Who among us dreams the dawn?)
Who dreamt us and oh, where have they gone? (Oh, where have they gone?)
Who keeps a candle lit for their return? (Who keeps a candle lit for their return?)
Who could count the flowers in your hearts? (Ooh)
[Outro: Annie Lennox]
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Palestine, Israel to Tennessee
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Sudan, Congo to Haiti
We need a superlove
We can be superlovers
