Dela Lyrics

Dela

One day I looked up and there you were,
like a simple question looking for an
answer.
Now I am the whale listening to some inner call,
swimming blindly
to throw myself upon your shore.

What if I don't find you when I have
landed?
Will you leave me here to die on your shore stranded?

I think
I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I think I know why the dog howls at the
moon.

I sing dela, dela ngyanya dela when I'm with you,
dela, sondela
mama sondela,  I burn for you.

I've been waiting for you all my life
hoping for a miracle,
I've been waiting day and night, day and
night.
I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for redemption,
I've
been wating day and night, I burn for you.

A blind bird sings inside the
cage that is my heart,
the image of your face comes to me when I am alone in
the dark.
If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you,
If I
could find the voice that says the words to capture you.

I think I know,
I think I know, I  think I know,
I think I know why the dog howls at the
moon.
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.

I sing dela, dela
ngyanya dela when I'm with you,
dela, sondela mama sondela,  I burn for
you.

I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle,
I've
been waiting day and night, day and night.
I've been waiting for you all my
life waiting for redemption,
I've been wating day and night, I burn for
you.

Sondela, sondela, mama sondela, I burn for you.

I've been
waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle,
I've been waiting day and
night, day and night.
I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for
redemption,
I've been wating day and night, I burn for you.

Burn for
you, I burn for you...
