These Days Lyrics - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

Yashimbawula! (the watchman's fire is burning) 

What happened to the diamonds in your eyes, 

What happened to the hunger for the day's chase? 

What happened to the electric smile 

That danced across your face 

We used to talk about changing the world 

Now all you want to do is change your name 

Come on baby don't surrender now 

To the empty heart of these days. 

We used to talk so deep into the night 

You had the heart of a wild horse running 

You bared your soul to me 

And we both knew these days were coming 

These days, blood in the heavens 

These days, fire and ice 

These days, burning streets and visions 

These days, of the loveless child 

Yashimbawula! 

You were the reason I came here 

You will always be the one I am looking for 

I can't stand to see the way 

These days are pushing you against the wall 

Got to get up, got to move out 

Face the tide beyond the door 

Outside there's a whole world changing 

We can't stand here, trapped inside 

Let's step out and test the weather 

Hang on baby, it's going to ge a rough ride through' 

These days, searching for a vision 

These days, gun metal blue 

These days, changing my religion 

These days, heartless and cruel 

Say the words and fill my sails 

I will love you through the coming gale 

We'll get through the darkest heart of these days 

"it's killing time" 

Who will watch the watchers? 

Who will keep the keepers? 

Who will love the lovers, could you? 

These days, blood in the heavens 

These days, fire and ice 

These days, burning streets and visions 

These days, of the loveless child
