Foreign nights (Working dog in Babylon) — текст песни (Johnny Clegg and Savuka)

(for Jenny)

I`m a working alien in a land of heat and stone
a casulaty of an economic war
that took me away from home.
It`s the politics of money and power
It`s the hope that we can build a future in world
getting smaller everywhere

Bridge:
I can hear a siren in the workyard
another shift and I`ll be closer to you
I`m a working dog in Babylon and only
your love can get me through

Chorus:
Foreign nights -- took you away from me
Foreign nights -- are not where I belong
Foreign nights -- filled with dust and dreams
Foreign nights -- trapped me in Babylon

AS long as I keep moving
I know I will be all right
cause if I stop to think I`ll drown and sink
in the sea of foreign nights
I`ve got to keep my hands busy
got to keep pushing through
got to learn to deal with this time away from you

Bridge:
I can hear a siren in the workyard
another shift and I`ll be closer to you
I`m a working dog in Babylon and only
your love can get me through

Chorus....

Quiet moments in the dark are hardest to face
the sun goes down but not the pain
I want to be with you all the time
I want to be with you, to be with you all my life
I`m going to have to get through... foreign nights.
