I Don't Want To Be Away Lyrics


Johnny Clegg I Don't Want To Be Away


Especially when the moon is new
Especially when I fake it with my crew
Especially when the truth is stuck like glue
That’s when I need to be with you

Especially when the town is dead
Especially when I see my empty bed
Especially when I don’t say what should be said
That’s when I need to be with you

Chorus:
YAKHAL’INGAN'EKWAZULU
The child cries in Zululand
KWASE KWASA
Until the morning light
Hum-o-hum
I don’t want to be away from you

Especially when no one can see thru me
Especially when no one can see me thru
Especially when I’ve lost the key
That’s when I need to be with you

Especially when the sun comes up each day
Especially when you smile and say
Every second now is ticking away
That’s when I need to be with you

CHORUS
