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 shores stranded?
|
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
|
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
|
|
I say:
|
"Dela! Dela! Ngiyadela!
|
(Content, content I am content)
|
When I am with you!
|
Dela! Sondela Mama Sondela!
|
(Closer, closer, come closer mama)
|
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
|
|
A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
|
The image of your face comes to me when I'm a-lone 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 say:
|
"Dela! Dela! Ngiyadela!
|
(Content, content I am content)
|
When I am with you!
|
Dela! Sondela Mama Sondela!
|
(Closer, closer, come closer mama)
|
I burn for you!
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Sondela! Sondela Mama Sondela!
|
I burn for you
|
|
Chorus
