Sing For Danopian

via YourSong.

 one day i looked up and there you stood
 like a simple question looking for an answer
 now i am a whale listening to some inner call
 swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shores
 but what if i don't find when i have landed
 would you leave me here to die on your shores stranded?
 i think I know why the dog howls at the moon

 dela! dela! ngiyadela!
 when i'm with you
 dela! sondela mama!
 i burn for you

 i've been waiting for you all my life -- waiting for a miracle
 i've been waiting day and night -- waiting for redemption
 i burn for you

 a blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
 and the image of your face comes to me when i'm alone in the dark
 if i could give a shape to this ache that I have for you
 if i could find the voice that says the words that capture you
 i think i know, i think i know
 i think i know why the dog howls at the moon
 
   this exceedingly long gush brought to you with lots of love from lady ali
