One day I looked up and there you were, Like a simple question looking for an answer

Now I am a whale listening to some inner call, Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shores

But what if I don't find you when I-- have landed, Would you leave me here to die on your shore stranded?

|* I think I know why the dog howls at the moon *| 2x

I say: De--la! De--la! Ngiyade--la! When I'm with you!

De--la! Sonde--la mama! sonde--la I burn for you!

I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle, I've been waiting day and night, day and night

I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for redemption I've been waiting day and night I burn for you

A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart, The image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark

If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you, If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you
