I saw you the other day by the Riverside
With your pot well placed by your side
As you bent to fill the pot, my happiness I couldn't hide
My admiration is excessive but by your rules I must abide
How I wish there were no rules
How I wish

I saw you at the market
With that hand made basket
I still rewind the moment in my head like a cassette
Placing the things you bought in order like a mathematical set
How I wish I was there to be placed
How I wish

I see you reflect the morning sun rays
Your shiny skin glows under the evening sun set
Your beauty can be expressed in many ways
But none of them is the best
Your skin so soft and supple
If you were a bet, then your chances were double
How I wish I experienced you in my stable
How I wish

Your Dad wants a lot in exchange for you
The other day he asked for a pot of brew
How I wish he knew it was illicit too
How I wish

I can't afford 30 heads
All I can get is 30 beads
But you are the first born and your price leads
Now I can only watch you through the reeds
How I wish I could pay anything for you
How I wish

Now I can't marry you
Yet I love you
Your beauty amuses me
But it all remains a fantasy
I dream of drowning you in a Fanta sea
But I can't even afford an ice cold coke
To taste the feeling
And now my words are running out of stock
Leaving me with no option but to depend on time for healing
How I wish I could marry you
How I wish
