Johnny Clegg These Days
Yashimbawula! (the watchman's fire is burning) What happened to the diamonds in your eyes, What happened to the hunger for the day's chase? What happened to the electric smile That danced across your face We used to talk about changing the world Now all you want to do is change your name Come on baby don't surrender now to the empty heart of these days. We used to talk so deep into the night You had the heart of a wild horse running You bared your soul to me and we both knew these days were coming Chorus: These days -- blood in the heavens These days -- fire and ice These days -- burning streets and visions These days -- of the loveless child Yashimbawula! You were the reason I came here You will always be the one I am looking for I can't stand to see the way these days are pushing you against the wall Got to get up, got to move out Face the tide beyond the door Outside there's a whole world changing We can't stand here, trapped inside Let's step out and test the weazther Hang on baby, it's going to ge a rough ride thru' Chorus These days -- searching for a vision These days -- gun metal blue These days -- changing my religion These days -- heartless and cruel say the words and fill my sails I will love you through the coming gale we'll get through the darkest heart of these days "It's killing time" Who will watch the watchers? Who will keep the keepers? Who will love the lovers -- could you? Chorus....
