"AFRICA"

By TOTO

Lyrics heard by Page

~

I hear the drums echoing tonight

But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

She's coming in, twelve-thirty flights

The Moonlight wings reflect the stars, that guide me toward salvation

I stand an old man along the way

Hopin' to find some african words, or ancient melodies

He turn to me as if to say

"Hurry boy it's waiting there for you"

~

Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

There's nothin' 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

~

One of dogs cry out in the night

As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company

I know that I must do what's right

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus of the Serengeti

I seek to cure what's deep inside

Frightened of this thing that I've become

~

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

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

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 rains down in Africa

I bless the rains down in Africa

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
