Ask The Rising Sun Lyrics - Miriam Makeba

Lonely, lonely, it can be so lonely 

Waiting, hoping, longing to touch/meet 

And love, and be loved in return 

Who are we, who need love? 

Ask the rising sun 

Lonely, lonely, it's a lonely feeling 

Waiting, hating the time we lose when 

We're cast aside and then forgotten 

Who are we, who need love? 

Ask the rising sun 

For the sun sees every tender leaf 

That drifts to earth and trembles 

For the sun sees every stricken bird 

That tries to fly and fambles 

And the sun fears not a distant thunder 

Gathers, grows and rumbles

Oh, take my hand all you who are so lonely 

You who yearn to look with longing to touch 

And love and be loved in return 

Who are we, who need love? 

Ask the rising sun
