Netsayi - Like lyrics

Like a diamond seeks the light Like a starling to the sky Like a newborn to the breast Like a martyr to the test Like green leaves to the sun You and I belong A king does to his realm A general to his men A moth does to the flame Or a queen to her domain La, la, laa ! la-la! Like a battered T-shirt, suspended on the washing line My nerves are wrung Words have never been this difficult to say I drip-drop to dry in the afternoon sun Moods changing like colours I run There's nowhere to run to, except back to you Like a diamond seeks to the light Like a starling to the sky Like a newborn to the breast Like a martyr to the test Like green leaves to the sun You and i belong A king does to his realm A general to his men A moth does to the flame Or a queen to her domain Ime fambe, iwe terere (I walk, you follow) Like a drum counts to the time My heart beats for you Two steps forward - i take two steps back. For you!
