The World Is Calling - Johnny Clegg

Tonight I had a happy hour

And loved your gentle style

I grabbed the day with both hands

It has taken me a while

I’ve been waiting to breathe out

To look up and see you smile

Walking through your laughing country

Free from exile

But I must rise now and leave your company

The world is calling and the road is longer

And as I go now my heart is breaking

Will I ever see you again?

Through all tribulation

Through all fake pretence

Just an hour of your company

Gives my life true sense

Like a prisoner holding out

For a final visit

I see you through my empty glass

And you can fill it

But I must rise now and leave your company

The world is calling and the road is longer

And as I go now my heart is breaking

For will I ever see you again?

What is this feeling and I hardly know you?

What is this sorrow as I walk away?

Hold onto this night forever

Hold onto this night — remember!
