African Harvest Lyrics

  Send "African Nights" Ringtone to your Cell  

(Les Holroyd)

driving down the road

under the southern light

looking back to see

where we've come from

as we watched the sun go down

rain it fell like diamonds

from kimberely mines

on the road to jo-burg

with the dying light

farewell durban

c

ity of natal

stopped awhile to stretch my thoughts

as we crossed the borderline

and into transvaal

i saw the sun go down

under the southern skies

over and over

i'll always remember

those beautiful african nights

in the old v.w.

we'd count the m

iles

we travelled with a friend

whose name was farr

the stories that he told us

talked of faces

times and places

sang and played his guitar

driving down the road

we hear the morning rise

leaving all the past

so far behind

the sound-man played t

he "the eagles"

as we listen

"take it easy"

echoes on through our lives

i saw the sun go down

under the southern skies

over and over

i'll always remember

i still hear them call

no matter how far

those beautiful african nights
