Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Simple Things lyrics

Rain forest talking to the dragon-mountain-moon

Stars infest the heavens in the southern skies

Otter swim against the river, whisper in the water

The stars are dead and what you see are shining lies

Body-smoke tie the night in a misty web of blue

Simple things are all we have left to trust

An apple, a horse, some milk and a little bread

Will help time stop slipping through our fingers

Chorus

M-oh-hum-oh

M-oh-hum-oh

What you got left to trust?

Stones in the dust!

A simple thing you got left to trust

Someone in your heart singing

Crickets learn the final chorus of their night song

Standing at your door 'cause I have nowhere else to go

Tried to fill the empty spaces with my songs

Came here 'cause I know you also sometimes feel this way

I brought an apple, a horse, some milk and a little bread

I hope I will not find you smiling in a dream

For I have come too far to face again what I have
