Johnny Clegg, Savuka - Dela lyrics

[Johnny Clegg, Savuka - Dela lyrics]

One day I looked up and there you were
Like a simple question looking for an answer
Now I am the whale listening
To some inner call
Swimming blindly to throw myself
Upon your shore
What if I don't find you when I have landed
Would you leave me here to
Die on your shore stranded


I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I sing dela, dela ngyanya
Dela when I'm with you
Dela, sondela mama sondela, I burn for you


I've been waiting for you all my
Life hoping for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night


Day and night i've been waiting for you all
My life waiting for redemption
I've been waiting day and night
I burn for you


A blind bird sings inside the
Cage that is my heart
The image of your face comes to me
When I am alone in the dark
If I could give a shape to this
Ache that I have for you
If I could find the voice that
Says the words that capture you

I think I know, I think I know
I think I know



I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I sing dela, dela ngyanya
Dela when I'm with you
Dela, sondela mama sondela, I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my
Life hoping for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night
Day and night i've been waiting for you all
My life waiting for redemption
I've been waiting day and night
I burn for you

Sondela sondela, mama
Sondela, I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my
Life hoping for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night
Day and night i've been waiting for you all
My life waiting for redemption
I've been waiting day and night
I burn for you

Burn for you, I burn for you
Burn for you, I burn for you
Burn for you, I burn for you
Burn for you, I burn for you
Burn for you, I burn for you
Burn for you, I burn for you
