Africa Lyrics - A Spoonful Of Time - Nektar

I hear the drums echoing tonight 

But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation 

She's coming in 12:30 flight 

The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me 

towards salvation 

I stopped an old man along the way, 

Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient 

melodies 

He turned to me as if to say, 

"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" 

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you 

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever 

do 

I bless the rains down in Africa 

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (Oh 

uh) 

The wild dogs cry out in the night 

As they grow restless longing for some solitary company 

I know that I must do what's right 

As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the 

Serangeti 

I seek to cure what's deep inside, 

Frightened of this thing that I've become 

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you 

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever 

do 

I bless the rains down in Africa 

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (Oh 

uh) 

"Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you" 

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you 

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever 

do 

I bless the rains down in Africa, 

I bless the rains down in Africa, (I bless the rain) 

I bless the rains down in Africa, (I bless the rain) 

I bless the rains down in Africa, 

I bless the rains down in Africa (I'm gonna take some 

time) 

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (Oh 

uh)
