Johnny Clegg - Across The River lyrics

I've been watching you now for a long
Long time across the river you've been
Waiting for the tide
Everything that you ever did is in your eyes
I can see you coming out in
The shadow of the moonlight
Like you‚ I've struggled with the question
Of right life‚ right life
Like you‚ I've been in the
Belly of the night



Hold me close, it's dark and cold outside
It's raining days and nights into our lives
Into our lives, into our lives


The captain says that it doesn't
Look so good from here
Hope and mercy are stranded on the pier
Love is the prisoner of the
Dark and the weird
Only the stars in heart will guide you clear
Like you‚ I've struggled with the
Question of right life, right life
Like you
I've been in the belly of the night



Hold me close‚ it's dark and cold outside
It's raining days and nights into our lives
I can make it on my own
But it's good to have you by my side
Hold me close it's dark and cold outside

Only the stars in your heart (yelele mama)
Only the stars in your heart (yelele mama)
(yelele mama, yelele mama)



Hold me close, it's dark and cold outside
It's raining days and nights into our lives

Hold me close, it's dark and cold outside
It's raining days and nights into our lives
