Juluka - December African Rain lyrics

rate me

Hum<br />

Standing on the Earth seagull flying<br />

Standing on the Earth the sky is bleeding<br />

Standing on the Earth sun is leaving<br />

Leaving us behind<br />

One there was an African love song<br />

Helped us on our way<br />

Made our hearts feel as strong<br />

As the African Day<br />

Chorus:<br />

Bye bye December African rain --<br />

The long gone summer has passed<br />

And I hear the owls calling my name<br />

The firelight has danced it's last<br />

Across your face my friend<br />

And though I love you<br />

I somehow know this is going to be the end<br />

Now the sun has disappeared<br />

And all that remains<br />

An old tin mug and a photograph<br />

So wipe away those tears and remember the good times<br />

Hum oh<br />

Standing on the Earth, moon is rising<br />

Somewhere in the world -- spirit flying<br />

Standing on the Earth -- leaves are falling<br />

Taking us away<br />

I never knew whom I could love more -- you or the land<br />

Till I stood lost upon that shore -- naked and alone<br />

Chorus<br />

'Cause all the birds have flown away<br />

The night is closing in<br />

It's so hard to say goodbye to eyes as old as yours my friend<br />

Where did the time go?<br />

Can you tell me where did the time go?<br />

Time life show<br />

Life time go<br />

Where did the time go?<br />

Where did your life go?<br />

Can you tell me where did your life go?
