African Skies Lyrics - Real Life - Simple Minds

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
