[Intro | Gramophone static | Single detuned string drone rises slowly | Bass enters with crawling swing] [Verse 1] Mi settle in di cold man's dreaming room Him nah remember, but mi know him soon Di fjord run cold through him sleeping vein Mi root go deeper, mi a-here to remain Him close him eye an' mi open mine Di midnight sun a-blur di two design Him cyan see what walk behind him face But mi a-fill every quiet, hollow space [Pre-Chorus | Vocals begin to layer softly] Him cyan see mi... Him cyan feel mi... But every night when di light a-go low (him nah know) Mi stretch mi finger through di dark below [Chorus | Ghostly harmonies build wide and slow] Play inna di shadow of him sleeping mind Ancient spirit weh him leave behind Di djumbie within, di djumbie within Watch him from di inside while di dream a-begin (di djumbie within) (di djumbie within) [Verse 2 | Bass deepens | String drone intensifies] Him dream di drumbeat from di southern shore Di spirits dancing at di crossroad door Him wake up humming melody him never learn Di candle burning but him nah feel di burn Him wife a-watch him with a frightened eye Him stand at water's edge before di day can rise Him hand a-move like something else in charge (mi settle in di bone now... mi grow large) [Pre-Chorus | More voices stacking | Harmonies thicken] Him cyan see mi... Him cyan feel mi... But every night when di darkness fall an' grow (him nah know) Mi learn him tongue, mi learn di way him go [Chorus | Fuller arrangement | Vocal density rising] Play inna di shadow of him sleeping mind Ancient spirit weh him leave behind Di djumbie within, di djumbie within Watch him from di inside while di dream a-begin (di djumbie within) (di djumbie within) [Bridge | Whispered | Strip to sparse piano and drone only] Something... inna di water... I brought it home from... The dreams come every... I can almost... almost... (yuh cyan know, cold-water man) (yuh cyan know) [Single heavy bass thud | Slow rebuild begins] [Final Chorus | Maximum harmonies | Full possession | Massive and overwhelming] PLAY inna di shadow of him sleeping mind Ancient spirit weh him leave behind Di djumbie within, di djumbie WITHIN Watch him from di inside while di dream a-begin (HIM NAH KNOW) (HIM NAH KNOW) (DI DJUMBIE WITHIN) [Outro | All instruments fall away except string drone | Single bass pulse every 4 beats] [Whispered] Sleep now... (sleep now) Cold-water man... (cold-water man) Sleep... [Drone fades | Record crackle | End]
