Simple Things Lyrics - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

Rain forest talking to the dragon-mountain-moon 

Stars infest the heavens in the southern skies 

Otter swim against the river, whisper in the water 

The stars are dead and what you see are shining lies 

Body-smoke tie the night in a misty web of blue 

Simple things are all we have left to trust 

An apple, a horse, some milk and a little bread 

Will help time stop slipping through our fingers 

Chorus 

M-oh-hum-oh 

M-oh-hum-oh 

What you got left to trust? 

Stones in the dust! 

A simple thing you got left to trust 

Someone in your heart singing 

Crickets learn the final chorus of their night song 

Standing at your door 'cause I have nowhere else to go 

Tried to fill the empty spaces with my songs 

Came here 'cause I know you sometimes also feel this way 

I brought an apple, a horse, some milk and a little bread 

I hope I will not find you smiling in a dream 

For I have come too far to face again what I have
