Johnny Clegg - Simple Things lyrics
[Johnny Clegg - Simple Things lyrics]
Rain forest talking to
The dragon-mountain-moon
Stars infest the heavens in
The southern skies
Otter swim against the river
Whisper in the water
The stars are dead and what
You see are shining lies
Body-smoke tie the night in a
Misty web of blue
Simple things are all we have left to trust
An apple, a horse
Some milk and a little bread
Will help time stop slipping
Through our fingers
M oh hum oh, M oh hum oh
M oh hum oh, M oh hum oh
What you got left to trust? (M oh hum)
Stones in the dust! (M oh hum)
A simple thing you got left to trust
(M oh hum) someone in your heart (M oh hum)
Crickets learn the final chorus
Of their night song
Standing at your door 'cause I
Have nowhere else to go
Tried to fill the empty spaces with my songs
Came here 'cause I know you
Sometimes also feel this way
I brought an apple and a horse
Some milk and a little bread
These simple things are all we have to trust
I hope I will not find you smiling in a dream
I've come too far to face
Again what I have passed
M oh hum oh, M oh hum oh
M oh hum oh, M oh hum oh
What you got left to trust? (M oh hum)
Stones in the dust! (M oh hum)
A simple thing you got left to trust
(M oh hum) someone in your heart (M oh hum)
The dragon-mountain-moon
Stars infest the heavens in
The southern skies
Otter swim against the river
Whisper in the water
The stars are dead and what
You see are shining lies
Body-smoke tie the night in a
Misty web of blue
Simple things are all we have left to trust
An apple, a horse
Some milk and a little bread
Will help time stop slipping
Through our fingers
M oh hum oh, M oh hum oh
M oh hum oh, M oh hum oh
What you got left to trust? (M oh hum)
Stones in the dust! (M oh hum)
A simple thing you got left to trust
(M oh hum) someone in your heart (M oh hum)
Crickets learn the final chorus
Of their night song
Standing at your door 'cause I
Have nowhere else to go
Tried to fill the empty spaces with my songs
Came here 'cause I know you
Sometimes also feel this way
I brought an apple and a horse
Some milk and a little bread
These simple things are all we have to trust
I hope I will not find you smiling in a dream
I've come too far to face
Again what I have passed
M oh hum oh, M oh hum oh
M oh hum oh, M oh hum oh
What you got left to trust? (M oh hum)
Stones in the dust! (M oh hum)
A simple thing you got left to trust
(M oh hum) someone in your heart (M oh hum)
