In a land full of sugar cane
Where the sweet tooth mamba plays
It once had a zulu name
Now the sun sets on Durban days
The crooning gambler
Walks along the marine parade
Every card shark knows his name
From Red Hill to Ballito Bay
Woah
Woah
If those days are gone (hold on hold on)
They can still live on (I can feel them in my bones)
The Durban days are gone (hold on hold on)
But they can still live on
(I can feel them in my bones)
Woah
Woah
Only some were allowed to play
In the sand on the summer days
We sang La Rosee Tombee
Then we laughed and danced the night away
Where did my money go?
I lost everything I won
Where I'm going now I don't know
Be back by the sardine run
Woah
If those days are gone (hold on hold on)
They can still live on (I can feel them in my bones)
The Durban days are gone (hold on hold on)
But they can still live on
(I can feel them in my bones)
Sometimes you give up
Sometimes you give in
You've been corrupted and driven to sin
But this is your life
And this is your home
And you're never alone
You're never alone
You're never alone
Woah
Woah
Annie won't you marry me
Start a new life and a family
Take a trip across the sea
Where the summer's swift and the winter deep
No matter how far we go
No matter how deep the snow
You'll never count all the different ways
We'll look back at the durban days
Woah
If those days are gone (hold on hold on)
They can still live on (I can feel them in my bones)
The durban days are gone (hold on hold on)
They can still live on
I can feel them in my bones
Sometimes you give up
Sometimes you give in
But you've been corrupted and driven to sin
But this is your life
And this is your home
Where you're never alone
You're never alone
You're never alone
You're never alone
You're never alone
You're never alone
You're never alone
The durban days are here again
You're never alone
The durban days are here again
You're never alone
The durban days are here again
You're never alone
The durban days are here again
You're never alone
The durban days are here again
You're never alone
The durban days are again
You're never alone
