Friends Of Johnny Clegg - The Crossing lyrics

Through all the days that eat away
At every breath that I take
Through all the nights I've lain alone
In someone else's dream, awake
All the words in truth we've spoken
That the wind has blown away
Oh, It's only you that remains with me
Clear as the light of day

O siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudla lomhlaba
Siyawela lapheshaya kulezontaba ezimnyama
Lapha sobeka phansi konke ukuhlupheka

A punch drunk man in a downtown bar
Takes a beating without making a sound
Through swollen eyes he sways and smiles
'Cause no one can put him down
Inside of him a boy looks up to his father
For a sign or an approving eye
Oh, it's funny how those once
So close and now gone
Can still so affect our lives

O siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
Lapha sobeka phansi konke ukhulupheka

Take me now, don't let go
Hold me close, I'm coming home

O siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
O siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
