Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Dela lyrics

One day I looked up and there you stood 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 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! (closer, closer, come closer mama) I burn for you! Chorus: I've been waiting for you all my life -- waiting for a miracle I've been waiting day and night -- waiting for redemption I burn for you A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart And 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 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! (closer, closer, come closer mama) I burn for you! Chorus
