Been Such a Long Time Gone (Album Version) Hugh Masekela


Letra da música "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)
