Juluka - December African Rain lyrics

Standing on the Earth seagull flying

Standing on the Earth the sky is bleeding

Standing on the Earth sun is leaving

Leaving us behind

One there was an African love song

Helped us on our way

Made our hearts feel as strong

As the African Day

Chorus:

Bye bye December African rain --

The long gone summer has passed

And I hear the owls calling my name

The firelight has danced its last

Across your face my friend

And though I love you

I somehow know this is going to be the end

Now the sun has disappeared

And all that remains

An old tin mug and a photograph

So wipe away those tears and remember the good times

Hum oh

Standing on the Earth, moon is rising

Somewhere in the world -- spirit flying

Standing on the Earth -- leaves are falling

Taking us away

I never knew whom I could love more -- you or the land

Till I stood lost upon that shore -- naked and alone

Chorus

'Cause all the birds have flown away

The night is closing in

It's so hard to say goodbye to eyes as old as yours my friend

Where did the time go?

Can you tell me where did the time go?

time life show

life time go

Where did the time go?

Where did your life go?

Can you tell me where did your life go
