Yacht Rock Revue - Africa lyrics
[Yacht Rock Revue - Africa lyrics]
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers
Of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12: 30 flight
Moonlit wings reflect the stars that
Guide us towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long-forgotten
Words or ancient memories
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to
Drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men
Or more could ever do
I'll bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do
The things we never have ooh ooh
Wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing
For some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like
Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to
Drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men
Or more could ever do
I'll bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do
The things we never have ooh ooh
Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to
Drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men
Or more could ever do
I'll bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do
The things we never have ooh ooh
It's gonna take a lot to
Drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men
Or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Gonna take some time)
Gonna take some time to do
The things we never have ooh ooh
But she hears only whispers
Of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12: 30 flight
Moonlit wings reflect the stars that
Guide us towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long-forgotten
Words or ancient memories
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to
Drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men
Or more could ever do
I'll bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do
The things we never have ooh ooh
Wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing
For some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like
Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to
Drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men
Or more could ever do
I'll bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do
The things we never have ooh ooh
Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to
Drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men
Or more could ever do
I'll bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do
The things we never have ooh ooh
It's gonna take a lot to
Drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men
Or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Gonna take some time)
Gonna take some time to do
The things we never have ooh ooh
