African Nights Lyrics - Welcome To The Show - Barclay James Harvest

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 Kimberley mines 

On the road to Jo'burg with the dying light 

Farewal Durban City of Natal 

Stopped a while 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 miles 

We traveled 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 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 

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 

African nights
