Been Such a Long Time Gone Songtext
von Hugh Masekela

Been Such a Long Time Gone Songtext

Been such a long time gone
I often try to remember how it was
My memory draws faded pictures
Although in my dreams I see myself
Walking through the market place, in a tiny Moroccan town
Waiting for the caravan, to take me across - the mighty Sahara.

The Desert sand is blazing hot
There′s a sandstorm coming our way
The nearest oasis is 1000 miles away
We've got 10 days to go to reach the Nile


Sailing down the river Nile
To be in valleys green with dates and olives on the banks
Tanzania′s lakes are sparkling ahead
Flowing through Uganda straight into Malawi
Where the beat of Mozambique flows
Where the beat of Mozambique flows into
Zambezi, Zambezi, Zambezi, Zambezi.

Here I cross the river Limpopo
White soldier standing in the road
Suddenly they open fire and then POP
Goes my dream

Been such a long time gone
I've got to cross over.
Been such a long time gone
I've got to cross over.
Been such a long time gone
I′ve got to cross over.
Been such a long time gone
I′ve got to cross over.
