A warm Ghanaian Highlife porch song led by palmwine guitar, melodic bass, and a clear female vocal.
[Verse 1]
I sent a palmwine postcard home
With a crooked heart and a borrowed phone
I wrote, the city is loud but I am okay
There is music in the dust at the end of the day
[Chorus]
Palmwine postcard, read it slow
The guitar remembers where the good winds blow
Palmwine postcard, carry my name
From one warm porch to another flame
[Verse 2]
My auntie says the old songs know
How to turn a small seed into a tree that grows
I add a beat for the streets I roam
Then leave a space for the sound of home
[Bridge]
Across the miles, across the blue
Every bright chorus comes back to you
[Final Chorus]
Palmwine postcard, read it slow
The guitar remembers where the good winds blow
Palmwine postcard, carry my name
From one warm porch to another flame
