Howie Day - Africa Lyrics

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet
conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me
towards salvation

I stopped an old man on the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient
melodies
He turned to me as if to say,
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

(Chorus)

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever
do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had,
oooh

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary
company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like a lepress above the
Serangetti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this
thing that I've become

(Chorus)

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you.

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever
do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains
down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains
down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had,
oooh
