African Skies — текст песни (Simple Minds)

You say you`re surprised
I thought I`d write today
Pieces of my life
That time can`t fade away
Land lies dry - Africa
And the clouds roll by - Africa
I held you every night
I believed in all you`d say
Now the dust blows in my eyes
But those dreams won`t fade away

The sky burns red - Africa
Don`t you cry - Africa

Africa
When you cry it rains - Africa

Still the children smile - Africa
When you cry it rains - Africa
When the wild dogs howl - Africa
Still the clouds roll by - Africa
