Been Such a Long Time Gone (Album Version)
been such a long time gone...
i often try to remember how it was
my memory draws faded pictures
although in my dreams, i see myself
walking through the marketplace
in a tiny moroccan town
waiting for the caravan
to take me across
the mighty sahara
the desert sun is blazing hot
there's a sandstorm...
coming our way
the nearest oasis; a thousand miles away
we got ten days to go
to reach the nile
sailing down the river nile
nubian valleys, green with dates and olives on the banks
tanzania's lakes are sparkling ahead
flowing through uganda
straight into malawi
where the green of mozambique flows into
zambezi (x4)
clear across the river limpopo
white soldiers standing in a row
suddenly they open fire
and then 'pop'!
goes my grief
been such a long time gone
i got to cross over (repeat to fadeout)
