Simple Minds - African skies

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
