Simple Minds - African Skies lyrics

rate me

You say you're surprised

I thought I'd write today

Pieces of my life

That time can't fade away

Land lies dry - Africa

And the clouds roll by - Africa

I held you every night

I believed in all you'd say

Now the dust blows in my eyes

But those dreams won't fade away

The sky burns red - Africa

Don't you cry - Africa

Africa

When you cry it rains - Africa

Still the children smile - Africa

When you cry it rains - Africa

When the wild dogs howl - Africa
