African skies de Simple Minds

You say you're surprised
i thought i'd write today
pieces of my life
that time can't fade away
land lies dry - africa
and the clouds roll by - africa
i held you every night
i believed in all you'd say
now the dust blows in my eyes
but those dreams won't fade away
The sky burns red - africa
don't you cry - africa
Africa
when you cry it rains - africa
Still the children smile - africa
when you cry it rains - africa
when the wild dogs howl - africa
still the clouds roll by - africa
