Gede (also known as Gedi) is a village on the Indian Ocean coast of Kenya, lying south of Malindi and north of Watamu. The Ruins of Gedi are located there. Although not thought to be mentioned in historic sources, extensive ruins of a former port have been dated to the thirteenth century or earlier, including a tomb with a date corresponding to 1399, until at least the seventeenth century. Later, the port was abandoned and not rediscovered until the 1920s.
The buildings are of coral, earth and plaster, some with designs inscribed. They include a mosque, palace, houses and tombs as well as a fort. The style is classified as Swahili architecture.
The modern village is home to a museum and a butterfly house.
Gede is part of the Malindi District and it has an urban population of 600 [1]

Ein Gedi (Hebrew: עֵין גֶּדִי) is an oasis in Israel, located west of the Dead Sea, near Masada and the caves of Qumran.
The name Ein Gedi is composed of two Hebrew words: ein means spring and gdi means goat-kid. En Gedi thus means "Kid spring."
In the 2 Chronicles 20:2 it is identified with Hazazon-tamar, where the Moabites and Ammonites gathered in order to fight Josaphat. In Genesis 14:7 Hazazon-tamar is mentioned as being a Amorite city, smitten by Chedorlaomer in his war against the cities of the plain.
In Joshua 15:62, Ein Gedi is enumerated among the cities of the Tribe of Judah in the desert Betharaba, but Ezekiel 47:10 shows that it was also a fisherman's town. Later, King David hides in the desert of Ein Gedi (1 Samuel 24:1-2) and King Saul seeks him "even upon the most craggy rocks, which are accessible only to wild goats" (1 Samuel 24:3).
The Song of Songs (Songs 1:14) speaks of the "vineyards of En Gedi." The words of Ecclesiasticus 24:18, "I was exalted like a palm tree in Cades" (’en aígialoîs), may perhaps be understood of the palm trees of Ein Gedi.

I can tell myself I'm in control
I can live this life without you
But you know it's just a lie
You know it's just my pride
I can tell myself I'm broken down
One too many times
But then I start to cry
Don't want to live this life without you
(Chorus)
Who am I tryin' to fool
Why must I walk away so strong
When I feel so weak
Who am I tryin' to fool
Everybody knows I still love you
I can tell myself there's someone else
Out there tryin' to find me
But it doesn't make much sense
When I've already found you(Repeat Chorus)
Only you, I love only you
Only you, ooh
I can tell myself I've had enough
I can't do this anymore
But what about my heart, what about my heart
I can't forget it still belongs to you
(Repeat Chorus)
Who am I tryin' to fool
Who am I tryin' to fool
Everybody knows I still love you
