I hear the drumsechoing tonightBut

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 stop to know
that 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 passed some rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do
the things we never had

....Solo........
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 Serangetti
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 passed some rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do
the things we never had
....Solo........
Hurry boy,
she's waiting there for you
