Daughter of Africa
You are walking now
And tread the path
Away from me
...
Farewell is a word,
So simple, so pure
Saying what started
but did not endure.
...
Daughter of Africa
You are walking now
And tread the path
Away from me
...
Tonight you were no stranger
But a friend
Sharing loneliness.
Tomorrow if we meet
...
They told me she was lunare
I said I didn't care
After all
It only made her sad
...
I reach into her eyes
That dazzle no more.
I gaze at her parched lips
Drained of energy.
...
I'd like to write like Leonard,
He has that way with words;
He would say how he loved you
And you would be his:

Daughter Of Africa
Daughter of Africa
You are walking now
And tread the path
Away from me
Daughter of Africa
You are touching now
While my body is
Away from you
Daughter of Africa
You are moist now
Not knowing the stranger
Who enters you
Daughter of Africa
You sleep now
While my heart
Yearns for you
Daughter of Africa
You are dying now
And you finally remember
Me
Who cried for you.
