Johnny Clegg - DELA
original lyrics: http://www.johnnyclegg.com/lyrics/ccbw.html#4
[Intro] x4
[Verse]
One day I looked up and there you were
Like a simple question looking for an answer
Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shores
But what if I don t find you when I-- have landed
Would you leave me here to die on your shore stranded?
|* *|
|* I think I know why the dog howls at the moon *| 2x
[Pre-Chorus]
I say: De--la! De--la! Ngiyade--la! When I m with you!
De--la! Sonde--la mama! sonde--la I burn for you!
[Chorus]
I ve been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle
I ve been waiting day and night, day and night
I ve been waiting for you all my life waiting for redemption
I ve been waiting day and night I burn for you
[Intrumental] x2
[Verse]
A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
The image of your face comes to me when I m alone in the dark
If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you
If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you

|* I think I know, I think I know *| 2x
|* *|
|* I think I know why the dog howls at the moon *| 2x
[Pre-Chorus]
I say: De--la! De--la! Ngiyade--la! When I m with you!
De--la! Sonde--la mama! sonde--la I burn for you!
[Chorus]
I ve been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle
I ve been waiting day and night, day and night
I ve been waiting for you all my life waiting for redemption
I ve been waiting day and night I burn for you
[Intrumental] x4
[Pre-Chorus]
De--la! Sonde--la mama! sonde--la I burn for you!
[Chorus]
I ve been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle
I ve been waiting day and night, day and night
I ve been waiting for you all my life waiting for redemption
I ve been waiting day and night I burn for you
