Dela Lyrics

Dela lyrics

One day I looked up and there you were
Like a simple question looking for an
answer
Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
Swimming blindly to
throw myself upon your shores
But what if I don't find you when I have
landed
Would you leave me here to die on your shores stranded?
I think I
know why the dog howls at the moon.
I think I know why the dog howls at the
moon.

I say:
"Dela! Dela! Ngiyadela!
(Content, content I am
content)
When I am with you!
Dela! Sondela mama! Sondela!
(Closer,
closer, come closer mama)
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 waiting day and night
I burn for you

A blind
bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
And the image of your face comes
to me when I'm 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 that capture
you
I think I know, 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 say:
"Dela! Dela! Ngiyadela!
(Content, content
I am content)
When I am with you!
Dela! Sondela mama!
Sondela!
(Closer, closer, come closer mama)
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 waiting day and night
I burn for
you

Dela! Sondela mama! Sondela!
(Closer, closer, come closer
mama)
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 waiting day
and night
I burn for you

Burn for you
I burn for you
Burn for
you
I burn for you
(fades til end)
