    Default Reggae/Disco, 1984 - 'I spoke to you in a whisper...'

    Here's a reggae/disco song from 1984 (or maybe 1983)... from a 1984 set by DJ Ricardo (Ibiza, Club KU - Test Pressing #355)

    I have attached a 2 minute clip; the line "let me know when the guns are down" was sampled in 'Techno Grooves - Sympathy For House' (R&S Records 1990; RS90 030) ... (indicating that the song has an accapella section or separate track)

    Lyrics:

    I spoke to you in a whisper
    Told you that your words were untrue

    Let me know when the sun's gone down
    Morning birds won't make a sound
    Let me know when the guns are down
    Don't you leave me on the ground

    [Make me the counting?] of the guns in the distance
    We'll stop once we picked up all the stones we've thrown away

    And I can find a million people
    From all the countries of the world
    [You got to show the very little]
    You can find the [same] between them all

    I stretch out across the river
    Finding stones [that] fall away
    You spoke to me in a whisper
    Don't you push no pebbles away

    Ah, [make me the counting?] of the guns in the distance
    We'll stop once we picked up all the stones we've thrown away
    You better let me know when your guns are down, let me know when the sun's gone down
    And don't you leave me on the ground [caught up?]
    Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

    Again, I have identified most of the tracks in the mix, except for this one... as with all mixes, I like some tracks while others aren't really my cup of tea, however I found this mix overall quite nice to listen to in this cold weather.
    Tracklist sketch (without capitals and mix/version titles):

    00:00 - talk talk - such a shame
    08:10 - i-level - in the river (--- edit: thanks to BzERK for the ID!!!)
    12:48 - yellowman - dub me strong [strong mi strong]
    14:43 - moja nya - rise up
    18:36 - yanguru - a-o (no bungalow)
    22:09 - howard jones - what is love?
    25:15 - loz netto - you are rhythm
    28:36 - break machine - break dance party
    32:57 - break machine - street dance
    37:52 - tullio de piscopo - stop bajon
    41:19 - mike francis - survivor
    46:40 - gary low - la colegiala
    53:30 - tony esposito - kalimba de luna
    56:51 - imagination - state of love
    60:04 - kajagoogoo - turn your back on me
