lyrics

AFRICA GOODBYE [Words and music Nick Taylor]

The entrance hall is dusty and hot .. and all I feel is pain
I hurry through to wait and read a magazine
But words on paper .. dissolve in vapour
And tears begin to fall
This is it .. this is the final call

Africa goodbye .. I never dreamed the day
Would come when I'd be standing here ..soon be on my way
Africa farewell .. now the die is cast
The point of no return between the future and the past
Ah ah ah

Africa goodbye .. they're opening up the gate
I smile to think it had to be this once we won't be late
Africa I feel .. like one condemned to death
The sound the scent the feel of you
I savour my last breath

Like strangers in a storm we sheltered for a while
And were we not together
When we walked the same road side by side
But we come from different places in the heart you and I
Our way of looking at the world
Is worlds apart and in your heart
We both know it's true my bru .. don't we mfuwethu

So Africa goodbye .. Phoenix like I fly
From far away I still can see the sadness in your eye
Africa don't cry .. I won't take anything
I even leave my love for you in this.. the song I sing

The winter sky is cloudy and grey .. the windows flecked with rain
And we both know I won't be coming back again .. no never again
Africa goodbye .. Africa goodbye .. Africa goodbye ...Africa goodbye ..
