Johnny Clegg & Savuka - I Call Your Name (Ngibiza Igama Lakho) lyrics

rate me

Oh no, you've gone again

I feel like Daniel in the lion's den

Stone cold in the afternoon

So alone in the empty room

They say that four walls do not a prison make

I'm trying to find a way out but there seems no escape

When I feel the hidden power that lies inside your sound

Like the ghost inside the atom that spins it round and round

There's magic in some words, some things you can't explain

That conjures up that feeling of the sun inside the rain

Chorus

When the wind is blowing like a lonesome train

I reach out and touch you and I call your name

When the night is lonely and I fear the coming day

I reach out and touch you

And I call your name -- ngibiza igama lakho

Oh no, don't let the sun go down

I'm so low, I feel underground

There's no easy road and no easy way

To say the things I have to say

'Cause I know that time is a distance and distance is a space

I've come so far to find you, it's you I can't replace

When I feel the hidden power that lies inside your sound

Like the ghost inside the atom that spins it round and round

There's magic in some words some things you can't explain

That conjures up that feeling of the sun inside the rain

Chorus
