Dela (i Know Why The Dog Howls At Moon) - 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
