African Skies Songtext
von Simple Minds

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
Still the clouds roll by - Africa
