Dela (i know why the dog howls at moon) de Johnny Clegg

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 shore
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
i think i know why the dog howls at the moon
i sing dela, dela ???
dela when i'm with you
dela someday lord mamma
someday lord i burn for you
I've been waiting for you all my life
hoping for a miracle
i've been 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
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
i think i know
i think i know
I think i know why the dog howls at the moon
i think i know why the dog howls at the moon
i sing dela, dela ???
dela when i'm with you
dela someday lord mamma
someday lord i burn for you
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
Someday lord
someday lord mamma
someday lord i burn for you
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 all you my life
waiting for redemption
i've been waiting day and night
i burn for you
Burn for you
i burn for you
