AFRICA

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of
Some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlight 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 turns to me as if to say
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

Refrain :
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

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

Refrain
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 passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

 

HOLD THE LINE

It's not in the way that you hold me
It's not in the way you say you care
It's not in the way you've been treating my friends
It's not in the way that you stayed till the end
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

Refrain :
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way taht you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

Refrain
It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way taht you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

Refrain
Love isn't always on time

Hold the line
Love isn't always on time -
Love isn't always
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

 

ROSANNA

All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see you eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, Rosanna

All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be

Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say

Refrain :
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna

I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Rosanna

All I wanna tell you is now you'll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad

Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say

Refrain

Not quite a year since she went away,
Who is it? Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say

Refrain (x...)
