Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Dela Lyrics
One day i looked up and there you wereLike a simple question looking for an answerNow i am a whale listening to some inner callSwimming blindly to throw myself upon your shoreswhat if i don't find when i have landedWould you leave me here to die on your shores stranded?I think i know why the dog howls at the moon.I think i know why the dog howls at the moon.I say:"dela! dela! ngiyadela!When i am with you!Dela! sondela mama! sondela!I burn for you!I've been waiting for you all my lifehoping for a miracleI've been waiting day and night, day and nightI've been waiting for you all my lifeWaiting for redemptionI've been waiting day and nightI burn for youA blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heartAnd the image of your face comes to me when i'm alone in the darkIf i could give a shape to this ache that i have for youIf i could find the voice that says the words that capture youI think i know, i think i knowI think i know why the dog howls at the moon.I think i know why the dog howls at the moon.I say:"dela! dela! ngiyadela!When i am with you!Dela! sondela mama! sondela!I burn for you!I've been waiting for you all my lifehoping for a miracleI've been waiting day and night, day and nightI've been waiting for you all my lifeWaiting for redemptionI've been waiting day and nightsondela! sondela mama! sondela!I burn for youI've been waiting for you all my lifehoping for a miracleI've been waiting day and night, day and nightI've been waiting for you all my lifeWaiting for redemptionI've been waiting day and nightI burn for youI burn for youburn for youI burn for youburn for youI burn for youburn for youI burn for youburn for you.
