Can anyone please tell me where i can find the lyrics for the Johnny Clegg song call "Dela". It's the song David used for the floating rose trick in is 1991 TV special "Mystery on the Orient Express"

Thanks

So until next time be good and don't do anything I would not do!

Hi mart999,

I know where you can find that lyrics. It´s in the booklet of their CD Crazy Cruel Beautiful World.

(O.K. I write it down for you then;-)

On day I looked up and there you stood
Like a simple question looking for an answer
Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shores
But what if I don´t find you when I have landed
Would you leave me here to die on your shores stranded?
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

I say:
"Dela! dela! Ngiyadela
(content, content I am content)
When I am with you

Chorus
I´ve been waiting for you all my life - Waiting for a miracle
I´ve been waiting day and night - waiting for redemption
I burn for you

A blind man sings inside the cage that is his heart
And the image of your face comes to me when I´m alone in the dark
If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you
If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you
I think I know, I think I know
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

I say:
"Dela! Dela ! Ngiyadela
(content, content I am content)
When I am with you
Dela ! Sondela Mama
(Closer, closre, come closer mama)
I burn for you

Chorus

(Sure, you´re welcome. I always enjoy helping:-)
