I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers o
Fsome quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the star
Sthat guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten
Words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred
Men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the
Things we never had (ooh, ooh)
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for
Some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like
Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred
Men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the
Things we never had (ooh, ooh)
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred
Men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
