Johnny Clegg - DELA
Original lyrics: http://www.johnnyclegg.com/lyrics/ccbw.html#4
Intro
[D] [A] [G] [D] x4
Verse
[D] [A] [G] [D]
One day I looked up and there you were
[D] [A] [G] [D]
Like a simple question looking for an answer
[D] [A] [G] [D]
Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
[D] [A] [G] [D]
Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shores
[D] [A] [G] [D]
But what if I don't find you when I-- have landed
[D] [A] [G] [D]
Would you leave me here to die on your shore stranded?
|* [D] [A] [G] [D] *|
|* I think I know why the dog howls at the moon *| x2
Pre-Chorus
[D] [A] [G] [D] [D] [A] [G] [D]
I say: De--la! De--la! Ngiyade--la! When I'm with you!
[D] [A] [G] [D] [D] [A] [G] [D]
De--la! Sonde--la mama! sonde--la I burn for you!
Chorus
[D] [G] [A] [Bm]
I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle
[D] [G] [A] [D]
I've been waiting day and night, day and night
[D] [G] [A] [Bm]
I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for redemption
[D] [G] [A] [D]
I've been waiting day and night I burn for you
Instrumental
[D] [A] [G] [D] x2
Verse
[D] [A] [G] [D]
A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
[D] [A] [G] [D]
The image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark
[D] [A] [G] [D]
If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you
[D] [A] [G] [D]
If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you
|* [D] [A] [G] [D] *|
|* I think I know, I think I know *| x2
|* [D] [A] [G] [D] *|
|* I think I know why the dog howls at the moon *| x2
Pre-Chorus
[D] [A] [G] [D] [D] [A] [G] [D]
I say: De--la! De--la! Ngiyade--la! When I'm with you!
[D] [A] [G] [D] [D] [A] [G] [D]
De--la! Sonde--la mama! sonde--la I burn for you!
Chorus
