Johnny Clegg - I Know That Sound lyrics

I know that sound It's the night train pa**ing It won't slow down Like some hope everlasting Sixty nights in the desert And the truth is still so far away Through all kinds of weather Wake up to the same day I'm standing on the shoreline And my life is so far from here Drink to the end of the bottle And try to find some cheer Just you and I 'Cause there's safety in numbers Two wings to fly We are lightning and thunder We stood at the edge of the forest Daring to see who'd go in Like trying to join the chorus But really scared to sing Standing on the shoreline And your life is so far from here So we drink to the end of the bottle And try to find some cheer Once you were a dancer And your dream was loud and clear And you gave the world an answer Made the questions disappear While the world is turning I don't know if you've been around here It's a spiritual dessert And our leaders don't have an idea I'm standing on the shoreline And my life is so far from here So we drink to the end of the bottle And try to drown this fear Once you were a dancer And your dream was loud and clear And the world is spinning And spinning and spinning While we try to find our way out of here
